Question

Anthony has $ 157 in his pocket to shop with at the local nursery. If he spent $43.25 on plants, $25 on tools and $30 on fertilizer, how much money does he have left?

Answer 1

$58.75

Explanation:

Hey! Let’s walk through this together!

The question asks to calculate how much Anthony has left after making some purchases at the local nursery.

To get the amount of money he has, we simply subtract the amount of purchases he has made from the total money he had initially.

So this means we subtract the money for plants, tools and fertilizer from the total.

Mathematically we arrive at the following expression:

157 - 43.25 - 25 - 30 = $58.75

He has $58.75 left
