Question

Maria had $125.35. She bought 5.25 lbs of meat, which cost $6.20 per lb. How much

money will she be left with after paying for meat?

Answer 1

$102.80

Explanation:

First, find the amount of money she used. To find that, you multiply 5.25 by 6.20 which equals to 32.55. Maria spent $32.55 on meat. Then, subtract 135.35 (her starting amount) by 32.55 (the amount she spent on meat). This equals to 102.80 meaning she has $102.80 dollars left.
