Answer key — Finding the Figures in a Budget

Set 7. Prints on its own sheet.

  1. 1.1. $600 + $150 + $120 = $870. 2. 12 × $400 = $4,800. 3. $1,200 + $300 + $80 + $600 + $150 + $120 + $400 + $50 = $2,900; $3,200 − $2,900 = $300.
  2. 2.1. $35 + $15 + $20 = $70; $450 − $70 = $380; $380 ÷ 2 = $190. 2. $35 + $15 + $20 = $70. 3. Soap and sponges, at $35.
