At the beginning of the month, Kimberly had $65.78. Since then, she has received three payments of $32.50 from her babysitting job. Kimberly’s 2 sisters each helped her babysit once during the month, so Kimberly paid them each $8.75.
If Kimberly did not spend any money, how much money does she have now? Enter your answer in the box.
To find out how much money Kimberly has now, we will calculate the total amount of money she received and subtract the amount she paid to her sisters.
Kimberly had $65.78 at the beginning of the month.
She received three payments of $32.50 each, so the total amount she received from her babysitting job is 3 x $32.50 = $<<3*32.5=97.50>>97.50.
She paid her two sisters $8.75 each, so the total amount paid to her sisters is 2 x $8.75 = $<<2*8.75=17.50>>17.50.
To calculate the total amount of money Kimberly has now, we can add the initial amount she had to the amount she received and subtract the amount she paid to her sisters:
$65.78 + $97.50 - $17.50 = $<<65.78+97.50-17.50=145.78>>145.78.
Therefore, Kimberly has $145.78 now.
To solve this problem, we need to perform some calculations. We will start with the initial amount Kimberly had and then calculate each subsequent transaction.
1. Initial amount: Kimberly had $65.78.
2. Babysitting payments: Kimberly received three payments of $32.50 each. To calculate the total payment, multiply the payment amount by the number of payments: 3 x $32.50 = $97.50.
3. Payments to her sisters: Kimberly paid each of her sisters $8.75, and she has two sisters. To calculate the total payment to her sisters, multiply the payment amount by the number of sisters: 2 x $8.75 = $17.50.
To find out how much money Kimberly has now, we need to add the initial amount to the babysitting payments and subtract the payments to her sisters:
$65.78 + $97.50 - $17.50 = $145.78.
Therefore, Kimberly has $145.78 now.
