Answer 1

To find out how much money Charlie had left after buying the bike, you 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, perform the subtraction:

\[ 585.80 - 178.79 = 407.01 \]

Therefore, the amount of money Charlie had left after buying the bike is:

D. $407.01
