Garret has $1.74. Pencils cost $0.15 each, and he bought 10 pencils. How much money does Garrett have left?

Question

$0.15
$0.24
$0.39
$1.89

Answer 1

To find out how much money Garrett has left after buying the pencils, we first need to calculate the total cost of the 10 pencils.

The cost of one pencil is $0.15, so for 10 pencils, the total cost is:

\[ 10 \times 0.15 = 1.50 \]

Now, we subtract the total cost of the pencils from the amount of money Garrett initially had:

\[ 1.74 - 1.50 = 0.24 \]

Therefore, the amount of money Garrett has left is $0.24.
