A. Find the change to the value on the gift card. (Question #1)

B. The original amount on the gift card was $200. Does Arleen have enough to buy a Wheelbarrow for $50? (Question #2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arleen has a gift card of the amount = $200

The total cost to rent the tiller for 4 days and a rake for $9

= ($35 × 4) + $9

= 140 + 9 = $149

A. Now the balance on the gift card = $200 - $149

                                                            = $51

B. Arleen have $51 in her gift card so she has enough to buy a wheelbarrow for $50.00.

                                                                   

Answer 2

35 • 4 = 140 + 9 =149 for rent and rake
200 - 149 = 51 left on gift card. Yes she has enough to buy the wheelbarrow.
