Question

Muhammad cashed a check from his uncle. He then spent $7.40 on taxis and $40.20 at the restaurant. He deposited the $97.75 he had left. What was the total amount of Muhhamad's check?

Answer 1

The amount he had left plus the two amounts he spent equal the total amount of the check. Add the three amounts together.

$97.75 + $40.20 + $7.40 = $137.95 + $7.40 = $145.35
