Question

Eddie is on holiday in Italy

Eddie has €150 to spend on gifts. He buys 1 pair of sunglasses for €70
3 pairs of shorts for €15 each
He also wants to buy a pair of trainers costing €40
Has Eddie got enough money to buy the trainers?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Total money = €150

1 pair of sunglasses = €70

3 pairs of shorts = €15 × 3 = €45

then, Total = €70 + €45 + x

€150 = €115 + x

x = €150 - €115

x = €35

Which means Eddie got only €35 left on him which is not enough for him to buy the trainers
