Question

Amy has $30 to spend she wants to buy 3 pounds of lemons at two dollars per pound a box of rice for four dollars and seven frozen dinners for three dollars each Will Amy have one dollar left over

Answer 1

Answer: Amy will not have one dollar left over , but she will have to add an extra dollar to buy all that stuff.

Explanation:

First find the cost of the items she want to buy in total.

So she wants to buy 3 pound of lemons at two dollars per pound that will cost her $6.

Seven frozen dinners for three dollars each will cost her $21.

The box of rice will cost her $4.

Add the total cost together.

21 + 4 + 6 = 31

This means she will have to spend $31 in total and that is beyond her budget which is $30 dollars. This also means that Amy will not have one dollar left over but she will need to add one dollar.

Answer 2

Amy won't have 1 dollar left, she will actually need 1 dollar because all of that would be 31 dollars.

Explanation:

3 pounds of lemons= $6

1 box of rice= $4

7 frozen diners= $21

6+4=10

10+21=31
