Question

Dan started shopping with $100.00. He went to two stores and spent equal amounts at both stores. When he finished shopping he had $24.24 left. How much did he spend at the first store?

Answer 1

100 - 24.24 = 75.76

75.76 / 2 = 37.88

He spent $37.88 at each store.

You can prove this by doing 37.88 x 2 = 75.76


Hope this helped! (:

Answer 2

$25.76 because divide 100 by 2 its 50 and subtract 24.24 from 50 and get 254.76 it amount spent
