Question

Tyler wants to buy a jump rope that cost $5, a board game that cost $12, and a playground ball that cost $9. Ha has saved $8 from his allowance , and his uncle gave him $5. How much more money does Tyler need to buy the jump rope, the game, and the ball?

Answer 1

He needs $13 more dollars because 5+12+9=26 and 8+5=13 then you do 26-13=13

Answer 2

He needs an extra $13.

Explanation:

In total, he needs $26 to get all three toys.

His allowance plus money he received from his uncle is $13.

So you take the total amount that he needs subtracted by the amount he already has.

As an equation, it would look like $26 - $13 = $13

Hope that helped!
