Answer 1

$93-$18-$36=$39

$39

Explanation:

Answer 2

18 + 36 + 39 = 93 The family spent $39 on games.

Explanation:

18 + 36 + g = 93

I'm using "g" to substitute the number of money they spent on games. To find what that is, you simply add 18 and 36.

18 + 36 = 54

So we know they used 54 dollars on tickets and food. Now we can take that away from the total amount spent.

93- 54 = 39

Here we can tell that the amount the family spent on games was 39 dollars. Or in other words, g = 39

Hope that helps and have a great day!
