Question

Jennifer owes $164 to a credit card company. She makes a $22 purchase with the card and then pays $90 on the account. what us her current balance

Answer 1

you would take 164 and add 22 to get 186 then subtract 90 to get $96 which is what she still owes

Answer 2

Firstly, the best thing to do is add together the purchases.
164+22= 186
As she's then paid some of this off, you then need to subtract this amount
186-90= 96
Therefore, the current balance on Jennifer's credit card is $96
Hope this helps :)
