Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Harry has a total of $72 as his starting amount (he got it from his uncle from his birthday).

We are also given that he spends some of that money to buy some clothes. Since he is spending money, that means we must remove the spent amount from the total.

We know that Harry spent $7 on a shirt, $5 on shoes, and $10 on jeans. In total, he spend $7 + $5 + $10 = $22.

Given he has $72 dollars to spend, he just spent $22 to pay for those items:

$72 - $22 = $50

Harry has $50 remaining.
