Answer:

A) Since each apple pie costs $ 1, with $ 13 Yenni bought 13 apple pies.

B) Yenni had $ 14.20 at the beginning.

Explanation:

Since Yenni bought some apple pies for $ 13 and had some money left, and if she buys 1 more apple pie, she would have $ 0.20 left, while if she decided to buy 3 more apple pies, she would be short of $ 1.80, for To determine how many apple pies did she buy with $ 13, and how much money did Yenni have at first, the following calculations must be performed:

0.20 - (-1.80) = X

0.20 + 1.80 = X

2 = X

2/2 = 1

Therefore, since each apple pie costs $ 1, with $ 13 Yenni bought 13 apple pies.

13 + 1 + 0.20 = 14.20

14.20 - 13 = 1.20

In turn, Yenni had $ 14.20 at the beginning.
