How to calculate total money spent ?

To calculate total money spent we have to add all the money we spent on all things.

Given that Ted has $55. 00 in his pocket.

(i)

two books for $29. 95 each

Money needed for 2 books = $2\times 29.95=59.9$

So Ted is not able to purchase 2 books

(ii) headphones for $29. 99 and a portable speaker set for $30. 95

Money needed for headphones and portable speaker = 29.99+30.95=60.94

So Ted is not able to purchase  headphones and portable speaker

(iii)  an MP3 player for $35. 99 and a $20. 00 gift card for downloading music

Money needed for MP3 player and gift card= 35.99+20.00=55.99

So Ted is not able to purchase  MP3 player and gift card

(iv) three books for $16. 99 each.

Money needed for 3 books =$3\times16.99$=50.97

So ted is able to purchase these three books .
