Math Problem of the Week - Lower Elementary - Mar. 6, 2022 to Mar. 12, 2022

Lower Elementary: 

Question: Kyle is paying for a dinner. The entire dinner came to $33.50. Kyle paid with a $25 gift card and a $20 bill. How much change will Kyle get back?

Answer: $11.50

Solution: with a $25 gift card and a $20 bill, Kyle is paying $25 + $20 = $45 for the dinner. Since the dinner cost $33.50, the change Kyle will receive is $45 - $33.50 = $11.50.
