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 solve the problem, we can break it down into several steps:

1. **Kimberly's initial amount**:  
   At the beginning of the month, Kimberly had **$65.78**.

2. **Money received from babysitting**:  
   Kimberly received three payments of **$32.50** from her babysitting job.  
   So, the total amount she earned from babysitting is:
   \[
   3 \times 32.50 = 97.50
   \]

3. **Total amount after adding babysitting payments**:  
   Now, we add the total amount earned from babysitting to her initial amount:
   \[
   65.78 + 97.50 = 163.28
   \]

4. **Money paid to her sisters**:  
   Kimberly paid each of her 2 sisters **$8.75**. So, the total amount she paid to her sisters is:
   \[
   2 \times 8.75 = 17.50
   \]

5. **Final amount after paying her sisters**:  
   To find how much money Kimberly has now, subtract the amount she paid to her sisters from the total amount she had:
   \[
   163.28 - 17.50 = 

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?
