After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does a shopper who started with $100.00 have left?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
To determine the remaining amount of money the shopper has, subtract the total spent ($75.64 + $22.43) from the initial amount of $100.00: $100.00 - $75.64 - $22.43 = $1.93. Therefore, the correct answer is A, $1.93, which represents the money left after the shopper's purchases. This calculation ensures that the shopper's expenses are subtracted accurately from the starting amount, providing the correct remaining balance.
