Solve the following problems:a. Helen had P7500 for shopping money. When she got home, she had P132.75 in her pocket. How much did she spend for shopping?
Answer:
P7367.25
Step-by-step explanation:
- Helen had P7500 for shopping money
- She only had P132.75 when she got home
Since her money lessened, it means she spent money therefore the operation will be subtraction.
Let x represent the money spent
7500 - x = 132.75
Transpose 7500 and change its sign
-x = 132.75 - 7500
Subtract
-x = −7367.25
Multiply -1 to both sides
(-1) -x = -7367.25 (-1)
x = 7367.25
- She spent P7367.25
Checking:
7500 - x = 132.75
7500 - 7367.25 = 132.75
132.75 = 132.75
CHECK
