Answer 1

She has 158 dollars.

Explanation:

This problem tells us that originally Taylor had 147 dollars, but she spent 42 dollars on sneakers, thus she now has
`147-42 = 105` dollars. However, she later won a race wearing those sneakers and earned 53 dollars, therefore she now has
`105 + 53 = 158` dollars.

Thus, Taylor has 158 dollars left now.
