Question

Robert had $58.62 in his bank account. He got paid $142.76. He then bought a new jacket for $63.76. He also bought 2 new movies for $6.99 each. He then babysat for his sister and was paid $12. How much money does Robert have now?

Answer 1

Robert now has $135.64.

Answer 2

Robert starts out with $58.62 in his bank account. Then he makes a deposit of $142.76 because he got paid. The total in his bank account now is $201.38

Robert then decides to buy a new jacket that costs $63.76 which means he made a withdrawal from his account of $63.76
So you would now subtract the total in his bank account from the cost of the new jacket. This leaves him with $137.62 left in his bank account.

Next Robert bought two new movies, which each cost $6.99 and so because he bought two movies, you multiple $6.99 by two. This comes out to $13.98 which is the amount Robert paired to purchase the two new movies. Robert withdrew the $13.98 from his bank account, leaving him with $123.64 left in his bank account.

Finally, Robert is paid $12 for babysitting his younger sister. He adds this to his bank account, which means his bank account total is $135.64

This means that Robert now has $135.64 in his bank account.




Hope this helps :)
