Question

You have $\$5.15$ to buy groceries. Your friend gave you an additional amount of $\$\mathrm{7.35.}$ If you bought flour for $\$3.67$ and rice for $\$2.18,$ then how much do you have left?

• A. $\$6.45$
• B. $\$6.55$
• C. $\$7.55$
• D. $\$6.65$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\$6.65$

Amount of money you have $=\$5.15$
Additional amount given by your friend $=\$7.35$
So, the total amount of money you have now $=\$5.15+\$7.35$

You bought flour for $\$3.67$ and rice for $\$\mathrm{2.18.}$
Amount of money spent on both flour and rice $=\$3.67+\$2.18$


Amount of money spent for both flour and rice $=\$5.85$
The remaining amount $=\$12.50-\$5.85$

The remaining amount is $\$\mathrm{6.65.}$
