Answer 1

To determine how much money Charlie has after trying to buy the shoes, we need to subtract the cost of the shoes from the amount he currently has.

Charlie has $26 and the shoes cost $49.

So, we calculate:

$26 - $49 = -$23

This means Charlie would have negative $23 after the attempted purchase, indicating he does not have enough money to buy the shoes.

The correct response is:

$−23 (dollars minus 23)
