Answer 1

To find out how much Jen Lou spent, you can subtract the amount of money she had when she got back from the amount of money she had when she went to the store.

Starting amount: $7.00
Amount after shopping: $2.83

Amount spent = Starting amount - Amount after shopping
Amount spent = $7.00 - $2.83
Amount spent = $4.17

So, Jen Lou spent $4.17.
