Samuel and Jason spend 3/4 of their combined earnings from Wednesday to buy a gift. How much did they spend? Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25? Explain

Question

Wednesday Samuel's cans (pounds)are 12.6

Wednesday Jason's cans (pounds) are 7.1

I think you would need to add 12.6 and 7.1 which equals 19.6 but then I am stuck from here.

Please help?

Answer 1

Multiply by $0.40 to find the amount of money they have.

Then multiply the product by 3/4

Answer 2

So they would have total earnings of $7.84

Then take $7.84 x 0.75=$5.88
but then the question asks Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25

So they spent $5.88 from a total of $7.84 is that correct?

Answer 3

So yes there would be enough money for them to buy a card that costs $3.25

Answer 4

The answer is no because they have 1.30 left and that's not enough to buy the card they need 1.29 more to 1.28 to ho

Answer 5

You would need to multiple

Answer 6

That’s correct.

Answer 7

add together the savings from mon and tues from both boys add those sms together. multiply 3/4 by the sum and subtract the amount they didnt spend from it. subtract the difference of that and compare the numbers. if the difference is smaller than both numbers the answer is no.
Hope it helped without an obvious answer :)
