Larrie and Lester went shopping. They both went with equal amount of money. Larrie spent $120.00 and Lester spent $150.00. At the end of the shopping Lester had 2/3 of what Larrie had left. How much mone did Latrine have after shopping?

$90.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Larrie and Lester went shopping. They both went with equal amount of money.

Let initial amount = x

Larrie = Lester = x

Larrie spent $120.00 and Lester spent $150.00.

Amount left (Larrie) = x - $120.00

Amount left (Lester) = x - $150.00

At the end of the shopping Lester had 2/3 of what Larrie had left.

Amount left (Lester) = 2 / 3 (Amount left (Larrie)

x - 150 = 2/3 (x - 120)

solving for x;

3 (x - 150) = 2 (x - 120)

3x - 450 = 2x - 240

3x - 2x = -240 + 450

x = 210

How much money did Latrine have after shopping?

Amount left (Larrie) = x - $120.00

Amount left (Larrie) = $210.00 - $120.00

Amount left (Larrie) = $90.00

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
