Question

Ben spent $60 on a bag, a T-shirt, and a pair of shoes. The bag cost $29. The T-shirt cost $9 less than the bag. How much more did the bag cost than the pair of shoes?

Answer 1

Bag + T-shirt + shoes cost $60.

Bag cost $29.
T-shirt cost $9 less than the bag or 29-9 = 20
Shoes cost $60 - $29 - $20 = $11
Now compare the cost of the bag and shoes and answer the question in the problem.
