Ramon owes $780 on his VISA account. He returns three items costing $43.10, $36.80, and $125.00 and receives credit on his account. Next, he makes a payment of $400. he then makes a purchase of $82.75. How much does Ramon still owe?

Solution:

It is given that Ramon owes $ 780

He then returns 3 items. Hence the sum of all the three items is given by:

$43.10 + $36.80 + $125.00 = $204.90

Hence, the sum that he has to owe is

$780 - $204.90 = $575.10

He then makes a payment of $400

In total he has to owe: $ 575.10 - $ 400 = $ 175.10

He then again makes a purchase of $ 82.75

So in total the amount of money that he has to owe

= $ 175.10 + $ 82.75 = $ 257.65

Hence, the solution
