Answers

1. Answer :

The final expression which represents the total amount of money Adam has left :

= [(520 - 320) ÷ 5] + 72

Amount of money Lenin has left is $112.

2. Answer :

The final expression which represents the change you will get back :

= $1.55 - 74¢

In the expression above, one value is in dollars and other value is in cents. To simplify the above expression, both the values must be in same unit.

Since 1$ = 100¢, multiply the dollars by 100 to convert it to cents.

= 1.55x100¢ - 74¢

Now, both the values are in the same unit, cents.

The change will you get back is 81¢.
