Juan wants to start a lemonade stand to earn money. He needs money to purchase the materials before he can sell the lemonade and earn money. His mother agrees to loan him $10. He makes a list of the items he wants to buy.

How much money do the supplies cost?


How much money does he have to spend?

Answer 1

$3 from his pockets

Explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

To begin solving this problem we need to first calculate how much money all the supplies will cost. We do this buy adding up the prices of each individual supply. Like so,

Now we can see that the total amount of the supplies is $13. Since his mom loaned him $10 we can subtract that from the total cost.

Finally, we can see that Juan would need to pay a total of $3 from his pockets to be able to buy all the ingredients.

Answer 2

It would cost him $13 though his mom is only loaning him $10
