Greg bought a blanket for $36.62, a flag for $11.25, and a glove for $17.75. He paid $60 and the rest he borrowed from his friend. If Greg got $4.38 in change from the cashier, how much did he borrow from his friend to pay for all the items?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin with adding all of the items Greg bought.

36.62 + 11.25 + 17.75 = 65.62

Let the money paid to the cashier be x.

Now, it's stated he paid 60 dollars to the cashier and that he also got $4.38 back from the cashier.

Then, it must be that x=65.62+4.38

x=70

The money he borrowed from friend = 70-60=10

Therefore, the money Greg borrowed from his friend to pay for all the items is $10.
