Answer 1

To find out how much money Charlie had left after buying the bike, we need to subtract the cost of the bike from the amount he earned pet sitting.

Charlie earned: $585.80
Cost of the bike: $178.79

Now, we perform the subtraction:

$585.80 - $178.79 = $407.01

Therefore, Charlie had $407.01 left after he bought the bike.

The correct answer is B. $407.01.
