So essentially what the question is asking is, if she had $25.63 at the beginning of lunch, and spent 7 1/4 dollars during lunch, how much does she have now?
So, basically, you would subtract 7 1/4 dollars from $25.63
Our first step is to find out how much money 7 1/4 dollars is.
So, we know that there are 25 cents per fourth of a dollar, and 2 fourths is 1/2 of a dollar, so we know that because there are 25 cents in a 1/4 of a dollar, 7 1/4 is just 7 dollars and 25 cents.
7 1/4 = $7.25
So, our new question is :
$25.63 - $7.25 = ?
Line up your decimal points.
Subtract the decimal points first.
0.63 - 0.25 = 0.38
Then, subtract your whole numbers.
25 - 7 = 18
So, our answer is $18 whole dollars and 38 cents.
Written out as : $18.38
So, your answer is B) $18.38
