Travis bought a sticker for $2.53 and a belt for $5.68. He then used the rest of his money to buy a pizza. He spent a total of $14.24. How much money did Travis spend on the pizza?

$6.03
$8.21
$8.56
$11.71

$6.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amout Travis spent on pizza be reapresented as A.

Travis bought a sticker for $2.53,

Belt = $5.68

Pizza = ?

Total amount of money spent = $14.24

To get the amount spent on pizza , add up amount of everything he bought and equate them to total amount spent

That’s

$2.53 + $5.68 + A = $14.24

$8.21 + A = $14.24

Subtract $8.21 from both sides

$8.21 - $8.21 + A = $14.24 - $8.21

A = $6.03

Travis spent $6.03 on the pizza

1/3 + 1/3 ≠ 2/6 because 1/3 alone = 2/6  

step by step explanation:

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3       2/3=4/6
