Answer 2

Answer:

Mary has $7.68 now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary spent a third of her weekly allowance playing arcade games.

Her allowance was $18, so a third of 18 is = $\frac{1}{3}\times18=6$ dollars.

She also spent $4.32 on candies.

So, total amount she spent = $6+4.32=10.32$ dollars

Now, money left with Mary = $18-10.32=7.68$

Therefore, Mary has $7.68 now.
