Question
Richard wants a paintbrush that costs 4.75, and an easel that costs 2.40. How much more money does Richard need?
Solution
First, we need to find out how much all the items Richard wants to buy cost in total.
The cost of the paintbrush is 4.75. The cost of the easel is $17.75.
So, we add all these costs together:
4.75 (paints) + 24.75
This is the total cost of all the items Richard wants to buy.
Richard already has $2.40.
To find out how much more money Richard needs, we subtract the amount he already has from the total cost:
2.40 (amount Richard has) = $22.35
So, Richard needs $22.35 more to buy all the items he wants.
