Question

Jimmy is trying to determine if he has enough money to buy the newest Call of Duty game for his X-box. The game cost $54.99. At the beginning of the month he had $229 in his account. Looking at his receipts from this month he sees that he has spent $92.87 at American Eagle buying clothes, $11.29 at Subway, and $20.00 at the gas station. Does Jimmy have enough money in his account to buy the X-box game?

Answer 1

Yes, he will have enough money to buy the game.

Explanation:

Starting Balance: $229

$229.00 - $92.87 - $11.29 - $20.00 = $104.84 (Remaining Balance)

$104.84 > $54.99
