Question

Jason had $6 in his lunch account at school on Monday. He spent $2 on lunch on Tuesday, deposited $7 on Wednesday and brought lunch from home. He bought lunch on Thursday for $5 and on Friday, he bought lunch again for $4. How much does Jason have on Friday AFTER he bought lunch?

Answer 1

$2

Explanation:

Credits:

Jason initial amount in his account = $6

Amount deposited for the week = $7

Total credit = $7+$6

Total credit = $13

Debit:

Cost of lunch bought on Tuesday = $2

Cost of lunch bought on Thursday = $5

Cost of lunch bought on Friday = $4

Total cost of lunch for the week = $2+$5+$4 = $11

Amount debited = $11

Balance left after he bought lunch on Friday = amount credited - amount debited

Balance = $13-$11

Balance = $2

Hence Jason had $2 balance left after buying his Friday lunch.
