Question

Oscar has $30 from his allowance. There is a video game he wants to buy that costs $17.99, a chocolate bar that costs $0.79 and a remote control car that costs $8.99.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Balance = \ 2.23$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Allowance = \ 30$

$Video\ Game = \ 17.99$

$Chocolate\ Bar = \ 0.79$

$Remote\ Car = \ 8.99$

Required [Missing from the question]

What is his balance after purchasing the items

First, calculate total cost of items

$Total =Video\ Game + Chocolate\ Bar + Remote\ Car$

$Total = \ 17.99 + \ 0.79 + \ 8.99$

$Total = \ 27.77$

The balance is then calculated as:

$Balance = Allowance - Total$

$Balance = \ 30 - \ 27.77$

$Balance = \ 2.23$
