Question

Answer 1

They will have enough money to spend on 6 goodie bags

Explanation:

First, you need to mutiply $2.49 × 6 and then you get 14.94

then you need to subtract $20.00 - 14.94 to get $5.06

so your answer should be, ¨Owen´s parents will have $5.06 left after spending $14.94 of their $20.00 on goodie bags¨

Answer 2

Yes, they can buy all the bags.

Explanation:

Owen's parents need to buy 6 bags for $2.49 each.

So, we need to calculate the total price:

$2.49 * 6 = $14.94

Since the bags cost $14.94, and Owen's parents have $20.00, they have enough money to buy all 6 bags. 14.94 < 20.00

Hope this helps!
