1 answer

To find out how much Jimmy needs to borrow, we first need to determine the difference between the cost of the item he wants to buy and the amount of money he currently has.

  1. Cost of the item: $6.21
  2. Money Jimmy has: $4.52

Now, we subtract the amount he has from the cost of the item:

\[ \text{Amount Jimmy needs to borrow} = \text{Cost of the item} - \text{Money he has} \] \[ \text{Amount Jimmy needs to borrow} = 6.21 - 4.52 = 1.69 \]

So, Jimmy needs to borrow $1.69 from his friend to make his purchase.
