• B. $\$8.24$
• C. $\$17.24$
• D. $\$7.34$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\$7.24$

You have $\$\mathrm{33.40.}$
Total amount of money $=\$33.40$
Money you spent on the bookmark $=\$11.40$
Money you spent on the magazine $=\$14.76$

Total amount of money spent $=\$11.40+\$14.76$

Amount of money left $=$ Total amount of money $-$ Amount of money spent

Money left $=\$33.40-\$26.16$

Money left $=\$33.40-\$26.16=\$7.24$
Or
Amount of money you have left $=$ Total amount of money $-$ Cost of the bookmark $-$ Cost of the magazine
$=\$33.40-\$11.40-\$14.76$
Amount of money you have left $=\$22.00-\$14.76$


You have $\$7.24$ left.
