Samuel and Jason spend 3/4 of their combined earnings from Wednesday to buy a gift. How much did they spend? Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25? Explain

Wednesday Samuel's cans (pounds)are 12.6

Wednesday Jason's cans (pounds) are 7.1

I think you would need to add 12.6 and 7.1 which equals 19.6 but then I am stuck from here.

Please help?

So they would have total earnings of $7.84

Then take $7.84 x 0.75=$5.88
but then the question asks Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25

So they spent $5.88 from a total of $7.84 is that correct?

The answer is no because they have 1.30 left and that's not enough to buy the card they need 1.29 more to 1.28 to ho

Multiply by $0.40 to find the amount of money they have.

Then multiply the product by 3/4

Thank you very much Ms.Sue...you helped me a lot and I just got an A thank you very much😌

I Agree with Matt because I think he is cute

Yea why it's confusing

Excuse me thts not polite kid. get out this is a hw help page not a trash talk page

Can you explain that problem again. Why would you multiply by 0.40 Mrs. Sue

thanks for the help people y’all are amazing

So yes there would be enough money for them to buy a card that costs $3.25

oh snap peeps blowup fight

Whatever im out

You would need to multiple

add together the savings from mon and tues from both boys add those sms together. multiply 3/4 by the sum and subtract the amount they didnt spend from it. subtract the difference of that and compare the numbers. if the difference is smaller than both numbers the answer is no.

Hope it helped without an obvious answer :)

That’s correct.
