supplies?

Answer 1

a. $17.83

b. $82.17

Explanation:

a.

We need to find total cost of all the items.

2 package of pencil for 1.98 each: Total = 1.98 * 2 = 3.96

1 binder for 7.69: Total = 7.69

1 divider for 2.69: Total = 2.69

1 pencil box for 3.49: Total = 3.49

We sum all of these to get:

3.96 + 7.69 + 2.69 + 3.49 = $17.83

b.

She only spent 17.83 and she had 100 dollars. So we subtract amount spent (17.83) from total (100) to get remaining balance.

100 - 17.83 = $82.17
