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
