Question

Dakota has $65 to spend at the mall. He bought a t-shirt for $18 and a belt for $15. If Dakota still wants to buy a pair of jeans, how much can he spend?

Answer 1

He can spend $32 to buy the pair of jeans

Explanation:

Here in this question, we want to know the amount of money that can be spent on buying a pair of jeans given the information in the question.

The amount to purchase the jean is simply the difference between how much he has to spend and how much he has spent.

The total money he has to spend = $65

Amount already spent = $18 + $15 = $33

Thus, the amount left to purchase the pair of jeans = $65 - $33 = $32
