Question

Gary has $250.00 for school supplies. He spends twice as much money on books as he
does on cleaning supplies. After he pays the cashier, he has $70 left. How much did he
spend on each?

Answer 1

60 on cleaning supplies

120 on books

Step-by-step explanation:

= 60×2=120

remaining 60 goes to cleaning supplies.
