Answer 1

$8

Explanation:

We want to find the difference between the money Clare has and the money she needs.

Difference means subtract, so we should subtract the amount of money she has from the amount she needs.

money needed - money she has

She has $110 and she needs $118 to purchase the MP3 player.

$118 - $110

Subtract 110 from 118.

$8

The difference between the money Clare has and the money she needs is 8 dollars.
