Problem 1:
Brenda and Jenna saved up $57.75 and $45.25 respectively to buy a gift for Mother’s Day. How much money is left over after they buy the gift?
Wait — this question seems incomplete. It says they saved money, but it doesn’t specify
how much the gift costs. Without knowing the price of the gift, we can't determine how much money is left.
But let’s assume there was a typo or missing info. Perhaps the total amount saved is meant to be used to find the
total they have?
If the question is asking:
How much money do they have together?, then:
$$
\$57.75 + \$45.25 = \$103.00
$$
So,
they have $103.00 together.
But if the gift cost is known (e.g., maybe it's implied), we'd subtract that. Since it's not given, we can only say:
✔ Total saved = $103.00
👉
Note: The question might be missing the price of the gift. If you have that info, please provide it.
