After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?

Rationale

The shopper has $1.93 left after their purchases.

After making purchases totaling $98.07 ($75.64 + $22.43) from their initial $100.00, the remaining balance is calculated as $100.00 - $98.07, which equals $1.93.

A ($1.93) CORRECT

This choice correctly reflects the remaining amount after the shopper's expenditures. By adding the two amounts spent ($75.64 + $22.43), the total spent is $98.07. Subtracting this from the starting amount of $100.00 gives a remainder of $1.93.

B ($5.00) YOUR ANSWER

This choice is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the total spent. If the shopper had $5.00 left, it would mean they spent only $95.00, which is incorrect as their total spending was $98.07.

C ($0.72) YOUR ANSWER

This option is also incorrect. If the shopper had $0.72 left, it would imply they spent $99.28, which exceeds their total spending of $98.07. Thus, this choice does not match the calculations.

D ($20.13) YOUR ANSWER

This choice is incorrect as well. Having $20.13 left would suggest the shopper only spent $79.87. However, the actual total spent was $98.07, making this option invalid based on the calculations.

Conclusion

The shopper's remaining balance of $1.93 after their purchases accurately reflects the difference between their starting amount and total expenditures. Each incorrect option misrepresents either the total spent or the remaining balance, emphasizing the importance of accurate arithmetic in financial transactions.
