Jeff has $28.75. He purchased three cookies that cost $1.50 each, five newspapers that each cost $0.50, five flowers for $1.25 each, and used the remainder of the cash on a pair of sunglasses. How much were the sunglasses?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of Jeff = $28.75

Cost of each cookie = $1.50

Cost of three cookies = $ (3 * 1.50)

                                    = $4.5

Cost of each newspaper = $0.50

Cost of 5 newspapers = $ (5 * 0.50)

                                     = $ 2.5

Cost of each flower = $1.25

Cost of 5 flowers = $ (5 * 1.25)

                             = $6.25

Total money Jeff spent on cookies, newspapers and flowers.

⇒ $ ( 4.5 + 2.5 + 6.25 )

⇒ $ 13.25

After spending money on cookies, newspapers and flowers, Jeff spent remainder money for buying pair of sunglasses.

Cost of sunglasses = $ ( 28.75 - 13.25 )

                                = $ 15.50

Hence, cost of the pair of sunglasses is $15.5
