Griffin ordered a pair of sneakers online. He had a $16 credit that he applied toward the purchase, and then he used a credit card to pay for the rest of the cost. If the shoes cost $86, how much did Griffin charge to his credit card when he bought the sneakers?

Question

A.
$102
B.
$118
C.
$70
D.
$54

Answer 1

To find out how much Griffin charged to his credit card, we start with the total cost of the sneakers, which is $86. Griffin applied a $16 credit toward this purchase.

Now, we need to subtract the credit from the total cost:

\[ 86 - 16 = 70 \]

So, Griffin charged $70 to his credit card.

The correct answer is C. $70.
