Question

Answer 1

You wrote:  Jake took 5 quarters and 6 dimes to the store. he spent 85cent on a fruit roll. he spent 50 cent on a banna.

 

First, I would like to tell you that although 50cent is a person's name (incredible!), 50 cents is what you should write because it's plural.  By 'banna' did you mean banana (or am I missing out on something new in the culture)?

 

The amount of money that he began with is 125 cents (5 quarters) plus 60 cents (ten dimes) = 185 cents.

 

We subtract 85 (for fruit roll); now he has 100 cents; finally, we subtract 50 cents (banana) so only 50 cents remain.
