Nicole earned $75. She put 1/3 of her money into her savings account. She bought a shirt for $17.11 and a sweater for $26.74. How much money does Nicole have left?
A
$6.15
B
$9.65
C
$18.85
D
$31.15
Bal.=Ao - ((1/3)Ao+17.11+26.74) =
Ao = $75 = Initial amount.
To answer this question, we need to perform a series of calculations.
First, we need to find out how much money Nicole put into her savings account. Given that she put 1/3 of her money into savings, we can calculate:
(1/3) * $75 = $25
Next, we need to find out how much money Nicole spent on the shirt and the sweater.
Shirt cost: $17.11
Sweater cost: $26.74
To calculate the total amount Nicole spent, we add the cost of the shirt and the sweater:
$17.11 + $26.74 = $43.85
Finally, to find out how much money Nicole has left, we subtract the amount she spent from the amount she put into savings:
$75 - $43.85 = $31.15
Therefore, Nicole has $31.15 left.
So, the correct answer is D. $31.15.
