Let’s solve this step by step.
We start with
$40.75.
---
Step 1: Buy the item for $8.95
Subtract:
$40.75 - $8.95 = ?
Break it down:
$40.75 - $8.00 = $32.75
Then subtract $0.95 more:
$32.75 - $0.95 = $31.80
✔ Money left after first purchase:
$31.80
---
Step 2: Buy the item for $2.95
Start with $31.80
Subtract $2.95:
$31.80 - $2.00 = $29.80
Then subtract $0.95:
$29.80 - $0.95 = $28.85
✔ Money left after second purchase:
$28.85
---
Step 3: Buy the item for $4.50
Start with $28.85
Subtract $4.50:
$28.85 - $4.00 = $24.85
Then subtract $0.50:
$24.85 - $0.50 = $24.35
✔ Money left after third purchase:
$24.35
---
Step 4: Buy the item for $3.00
Start with $24.35
Subtract $3.00:
$24.35 - $3.00 = $21.35
✔ Final money left:
$21.35
---
Final Answer:
$21.35
