Answer 1

Answer:

$43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Savings = \ 88$

$Earnings = \ 29$

$Amount\ Left = \ 74$

Required

Calculate the amount spent

First, we need to calculate the total amount she had.

$Total = Savings + Earnings$

$Total = \ 88 + \ 29$

$Total = \ 117$

Represent amount spent with x.

The relationship between total amount, spending and amount left is:

$Total - x = Amount\ Left$

$\ 117 - x = \ 74$

$x = \ 117 - \ 74$

$x = \ 43$
