Question

Brizna had $10.00. She bought a toy car 4.25 and a box of chocolates for $3.75. How much did she have left?

Answer 1

Given

Initial amount Brizna had = $10.00

Amount spent on toy car = $4.25

Amount spent on a box of chocolates = $3.75

Solution

We are required to find the amount she has left.

The amount she has left can be calculated using the relation:

$\text{Amount left = Initial amount - amount spent}$

The total amount spent :

$\begin{gathered} \text{Amount spent = \ 4.25 + \ 3.75 } \\ =\text{ \ 8} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the amount she has left:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Amount left = \ 10.00 - \ 8} \\ =\text{ \ 2} \end{gathered}$

Answer: Brizna has $2 left
