Three friends go to a book fair. Allen spends $2.60. Maria spends 4 times as much as Allen. Akio spends $3.45 less than Maria. How much does Akio spend?
4 * 2.60 = $10.40
10.40 - 3.45 = $6.95
You were wrong It is 6.05
To find out how much Akio spends, we need to follow the information given in the question.
First, we know that Allen spends $2.60.
Next, we are told that Maria spends 4 times as much as Allen. To find out how much Maria spends, we multiply Allen's amount spent by 4.
$2.60 x 4 = $10.40
So Maria spends $10.40.
Finally, we know that Akio spends $3.45 less than Maria. To find out how much Akio spends, we subtract $3.45 from Maria's amount spent.
$10.40 - $3.45 = $6.95
Therefore, Akio spends $6.95.
