Question

Raul came home with $3.00 in his pocket. He had given Rene $1.50 on his way home. Pedro gave him $1.00 that he had borrowed last week. How much money did Raul have at the beginning of the day?

Answer 1

Answer: $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

He came home with $3.00.

He gave Rene $1.50 which means that $1.50 was deducted from his money.

Pedro gave him $1.00 which added to his money.

Money he had therefore was:

= 3 + 1.50 - 1

= $3.50
