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

Rationale

$1.93

To find out how much money the shopper has left, we need to subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount of $100.00. After spending $75.64 and $22.43, the remaining balance is calculated as follows: $100.00 - ($75.64 + $22.43) = $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93.

A ($1.93) CORRECT

This choice correctly represents the amount left after the shopper has made their purchases. By accurately calculating the total spent and subtracting it from the initial budget, we find that the shopper retains $1.93.

B ($5.00) YOUR ANSWER

This option inaccurately assumes a higher remaining balance than what is calculated. If the shopper had $5.00 left, it would imply they spent only $95.00, which does not reflect their actual total expenditures of $98.07.

C ($0.72) YOUR ANSWER

This choice is also incorrect as it suggests an even lower remaining balance than calculated. A remaining amount of $0.72 would imply that the shopper spent $99.28, which again does not align with the actual spending of $98.07.

D ($20.13) YOUR ANSWER

This option misrepresents the remaining balance by suggesting a significantly higher amount left. If $20.13 were the remaining balance, the shopper would have spent only $79.87, which does not match the total of $98.07 spent.

Conclusion

The correct remaining balance for the shopper is $1.93 after their purchases. The calculations confirm that after spending a total of $98.07 from an initial amount of $100.00, the accurate amount left is indeed $1.93. All other options miscalculate the total spent or the remaining balance.
