Question

After paying $5.12 for a salad, Norachai has $27.10. How much money did he have before buying the salad?

Answer 1

`$32.22`

Explanation:

If Norachai has `$27.10` after she paid for a `$5.12` salad, that means she lost `$5.12` from the original amount of money she had.

Thus, to figure out how much money she had before buying the salad, do the reverse of subtracting `$5.12` from the original amount of money she had by adding `$5.12` to `$27.10`.

`$27.10+$5.12`

`=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)$32.22color(white)(a/a)|)))`

`:.`, Norachai originally had `$32.22` before buying the salad.
