Question

Darrell bought some new furniture for his apartment. He had $600 to spend. He bought a bookcase for $215. Then, he bought a rug for $100. After that, how much money did Darrell have left to spend?

Answer 1

Darrell initially had $600. He spent $215 on a bookcase and $100 on a rug.

First, we calculate the total amount spent:
\[
215 + 100 = 315
\]

Next, we subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount:
\[
600 - 315 = 285
\]

Therefore, Darrell has $285 left to spend.
