So far I have 450,They then buy a net for $25. How much do they have left? First I do 50-25=25,then I add in the hundred and that is 425 left


Then they buy three tennis balls. Each ball costs $3. How much do they have left?After I do 450-3=447,then that is the answer.


Finally they buy a netball hoop which costs $100. How much is left in the budget at the end? First I do 447-100=


For an easy way you can take out the hundred from the 447,then that makes a total of 347,because it just takes one hundred away.
