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
