Question

Jill has $8.75. Jack has three times as much as Jill, but he spent $5.00 to buy a book. How much money does Jack have?

Answer 1

If Jill has $8.75 and Jack has 3 times that
$8.75 \times 3 = 26.25$
Jack has $26.25
He spent $5.00
$26.25 - 5.00 = 21.25$
He has $21.25 left

Answer 2

The answer is $21.25
