Answer 1

Let's break this problem down step by step.

1. Initial Amount: Kat starts with $256.

2. Refund from Dress: Kat returns a dress and receives a refund of $128.

   \[ 256 + 128 = 384 \] So now, Kat has $384.

3. Cost of Jacket: Kat buys a jacket for $98.

   \[ 384 - 98 = 286 \] After buying the jacket, she has $286 left.

4. Cost of Shoes: Kat then buys a pair of shoes for $105.

   \[ 286 - 105 = 181 \] After buying the shoes, she has $181 left.

Therefore, the amount of money Kat has left to spend after buying the jacket and shoes is $181.00.
