Answer 1

(Option D)Mitchell's stipend was $506.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Mitchell's stipend was, we can subtract the amount he spent on textbooks from the amount he had left at the end of the semester.

Let's assume Mitchell's stipend was X dollars.

He spent $429.17 on textbooks, so the remaining amount would be X - $429.17.

We know that he had $77.85 left, so we can set up the equation:

X - $429.17 = $77.85

Now, we can solve for X:

X = $77.85 + $429.17 = $506.02

So, Mitchell's stipend was $506.02. This corresponds to answer (Option D).

Answer 2

The answer would be b bc 429.17-77.85 equals 351.32
