Can you please help me with this problem.

Question

Paul bought a student discount card for the bus.The card allows him to buy daily bus passes for $1.50. after one month,Paul bought 15 passes and spent a total of $29.50. How much did he spend on the student discount card?

Answer 1

(15 passes)*($1.50 per pass) = $22.50 spent on bus passes.

 

Since Paul spent a total of $29.50 on bus passes and the discount card, the amount he spent on the discount card was $29.50 - $22.50 = $7.00
