• B. $24$ dollars $6$ cents
• C. $24$ dollars $12$ cents
• D. $25$ dollars $6$ cents

Answer 1

The correct option is D $25$ dollars $6$ cents

Detailed step by step solution:
Bills Boots had $=20+10+5=35$ dollars
Bill taken away by Bubbles $=10$ dollars
Total dollars left with Boots $=35-10=25$ dollars
So, bills left with Boots $=20+5=25$ dollars
Coins Boots had $=2$ nickels and $2$ pennies $=5+5+1+1=12$ cents
Coins taken away by Bubbles $=1$ penny and $1$ nickel $=5+1=6$ cents
Total cents left with Boots $=12-6=6$ cents
So, coins left with Boots $=$ a nickel and a penny $=5+1=6$ cents
Hence, the total amount left with Boots is $25$ dollars $6$ cents.
