Question

Matt has $3 left in his pocket. He spent $6

on lunch, $7 on a poster, and $10 on a
T-shirt. How much money did he have at
the beginning of the day?

Answer 1

$26.

Explanation:

Let's say that Matt started out with x dollars.

x - 6 - 7 - 10 = 3

x - 13 - 10 = 3

x -23 = 3

x = 26

He had $26 at the beginning of the day.

Hope this helps!
