Question

Lila wants a paintbrush that costs $4.60, set of paints that costs $11.85, and an easel that costs $25.60. Lila already has $6.20. How much more money does Lila need?

Answer 1

Lila need more money = $35.85

Solution:

Given data:

Cost of paint brush = $4.60

Cost of set of paints = $11.85

Cost of easel = $25.60

Total cost of all the items = $4.60 + $11.85 + $25.60

= $42.05

Total cost of all the items = $42.05

Lila already had amount = $6.20

Amount of money needed = Total cost of all the items – Lila had amount

= $42.05 – $6.20

= $35.85

Hence, Lila need $35.85 more money.
