The total amount of money that Peter was given to buy books at the bookstore is $35.

He bought 6 bookmarks and each bookmark cost $.49. This means that the cost of 6 bookmarks would be

0.49 × 6 = $2.94

He bought 12 comic books and each comic books cost $1.15. This means that the cost of 12 comic books would be

1.15 × 12 = $13.8

He bought 3 novels and each novel cost $5.50. This means that the cost of 3 noveks would be

5.5 × 3 = $16.5

The total amount that he spent is

2.94 + 13.8 + 16.5 = $33.24

The amount that Peter has after making these purchases is

35 - 33.24 = $1.76

$1.76

Spent = (6×0.49) + (12×1.15) + (3×5.50)
