Question

Jim had 3,067.48 in his checking account he wrote a check to pay for two airplane tickets. His account now has 1,845.24.

Answer 1

Jim started out with 3,067.48 in his checking and ended with 1,845.24 after paying for airplane tickets. To figure out how much money he spent on the tickets, you will need to first subtract the ending amount of 1,845.24 from 3,067.48 and then divide the sum to get the amount spent on each ticket.

3,067.48 - 1,845.24 = 1,222.24
1,222.24\2= 611.12

In the end Jim spent 1,222.24 in total on tickets. He spent around 611.12 on each ticket.

Hope this helps!
