It's your turn now.

I'll be glad to check your answer.
IS IT 85.87 +40.00 =125.87 -22.25 =103.62 +22.25. so is it103.62?
Ms. Sue
No. Please try again.
Started with 125.87 -40 =85.87
sorry i just don't get it.
Ms. Sue
I'm sorry, Sam, but I goofed. Your first answer was right. It's 103.62.
Thank you. I was going crazy trying to figure it out.Thank you for all your help in math
Ms. Sue
