Question

Lenny has $74. He spent $24 on video games, and $21 at the grocery store. How much does lenny have left? $

Answer 1

If you spend money, you have less money than before. Subtraction is the operation that describes this "taking quantities away".

So, you start with 74$. You spend 24$, so we have to subtract 24:

`74-24 = 50`

Then, you spend 21$. So, we have to subtract again:

`50-21 = 29`

So, you're left with 29$ after you buy the video game and the groceries.
