Question

Jared’s abuela gave him $19 for his birthday. He bought $8.25 worth of candy and spent $4.25 on a new comic book. How much money does Jared have left?

Answer 1

Jared would have $6.50 left

Answer 2

Answer:

$6.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Try to think of it in this way, your goal is to get to 19$.

add 4$ plus 8$ together and you get 12$.

now all you're missing is the cents. 25 plus 25 equals 50 cents. So 12$ and .50 cents add them together and you have 12.50.

Which means you only have $6.50 left.
