Answer 1

Answer:

3 dollars and 9 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total amount = 20 dollars

Amount for gift A = 9 7/10 dollars

Amount for gift B = 6 2/5 dollars

Amount for gift C =?

The amount of money she has left for gift C can be obtained as follow:

A + B + C = 20

9 7/10 + 6 2/5 + C = 20

Change to improper fraction

97/10 + 32/5 + C = 20

(97 + 64)/10 + C = 20

161/10 + C = 20

Collect like terms

C = 20 – 161/10

C = (200 – 161)/10

C = 39/10

Change to mixed fraction

C = 3 9/10 dollars

C = 3.9

C = 3 dollars and 9 cents

Therefore, Kathy had 3 dollars and 9 cent for gift C
