Math Problem Statement

Myles has the following bills in his wallet: one $5 bill, two $10 bills, and four $1 bills. He spends $12.00 at the movies. What is the value of the bills he has left?

Solution

Let's analyze the question from your uploaded image and solve it.

Step 1: Count Myles' total bills.

Myles has the following bills:

  • One $5 bill
  • Two $10 bills
  • Four $1 bills

The total value of these bills: 5+(10×2)+(1×4)=5+20+4=295 + (10 \times 2) + (1 \times 4) = 5 + 20 + 4 = 29 Myles has $29.

Step 2: Subtract the amount spent at the movies.

Myles spends $12. Subtract this amount from his total: 2912=1729 - 12 = 17

Final Answer:

Myles has $17 left after spending money at the movies.

Here are 5 questions to deepen understanding:

  1. How do you calculate the total amount when given different bills?
  2. What operation is used when money is spent or removed?
  3. How would the total change if Myles spent $15 instead?
  4. How does the value of coins differ from bills in calculations?
  5. Can you think of a situation where Myles’ money might need further adjustments?

Tip: Always double-check calculations when handling money to avoid errors.
