Question

Ryan spent $3.25 on lunch every day, Monday through Friday. If he had $20 at the start of the week, how much money did he have left after Friday

Answer 1

He had $3.75 dollars left.

Explanation:

He was spending launch money for five days so:

3.25*5 is the total amount of money he spent that week.

The amount of Mooney he had minus the amount of money he spent is the amount of money left.

20-3.25*5= 3.75

Answer 2

Monday through Friday is 5 days.

Multiply the cost of lunch by number of days:

3.25 x 5 = $16.25

Subtract the total he spent on lunch from what he started with for money:

20 - 16.25 = 3.75

He had $3.75 left.
