4. mother gave Justin $ 1700. he spent $235 for a shirt and $ 1,053 for pair of shoes. how much money was left with him?

Answer 1

Hi, Ghe G.!

Here are the ways you solve each of these:

1. 35 x 25 = 875 apples harvested
2. 29866 + 513 = the number of teenagers = 30379, this is also the number of adults

children + teenagers + adults = the total number of spectators

29866 + 30379 + 30379 = 90624 spectators

3. Dan is 25 now, in 10 years he will be 25 + 10 = 35 years old

His brother is 25 +12 now, or 37. In 10 years he will be 37 + 10 = 47 years old.

The total is their ages in 10 years added together, 47 + 35 = 82

4. $1700 - the shirt - the shoes = the money he has left

1700 - 235 - 1053 = 412, or $412 he has left.

I hope this helps!
