Question

Samantha had $15.She spends $2.25 on admission to the ice skating rink, $2.15 to rent ice skates and $1.35 each for 2 hot chocolates.How much money does she have left?

Answer 1

Answer: $7.90

Step-by-step explanation:

When we see how much she spent on the total cost of renting skates, getting in, and getting hot chocolate, we can see that she is going to subtract all of that from the total cost.

$15.00 - 2.25 = 12.75

12.75 - 2.15 = 10.60

10.60 - 1.35 = 9.25

9.25 - 1.35 = 7.90 remaining

We know that she payed 2.25 to get in, 2.15 for skate rental, and 1.35 for each hot chocolate she purchased which in this case is 2. We need to subtract all of this from 15 and get the final answer
