Money Left


1. **State the problem:** Jimmy earned money from raking leaves and received a birthday check. He wants to buy tennis shoes costing 93.48 using only his leaf raking money and birthday money (no loose change). 2. **Calculate total leaf raking money:** - 3 twenty-dollar bills: $3 \times 20 = 60$ - 1 ten-dollar bill: $1 \times 10 = 10$ - 2 five-dollar bills: $2 \times 5 = 10$ - 4 one-dollar bills: $4 \times 1 = 4$ Total leaf raking money = $60 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 84$ 3. **Add birthday money:** - Birthday check = $25$ Total money available = $84 + 25 = 109$ 4. **Calculate money left after buying tennis shoes:** - Cost of tennis shoes = $93.48$ Money left = Total money available $- 93.48 = 109 - 93.48 = 15.52$ 5. **Answer:** Jimmy will have $15.52 left after buying the tennis shoes. This problem uses simple addition and subtraction of money amounts. We carefully add all bills and checks, then subtract the cost to find the remainder.
