Question:-

Nelson and Jamie both want to buy a $250 bicycle. Nelson has saved $136 and Jamie has saved $142. How much more money do they each need to save?

Answer:-

Given,

Price of the bicycle = $250

Money saved by Nelson = $136

Money saved by Jamie = $142

Now,

Nelson = $250 - $136 = $114

Jamie = $250 - $142 = $108

Nelson needs to save $114

Jamie needs to save $108
