Let’s simplify the given situation

Maxwell wants to buy a finger print kit that costs = 99$

His savings is already = 18$

He spent for magnifying glass = 0.25$

X = how much more do Maxwell need to save in order buy a finger print kit that
he wants.


=> 99$ - (18$ – 0.25$)

=> Let’s subtract first the digits inside the parenthesis

=> 99$ - 17.75$

=> 81.25$


Therefore, Maxwell still need to save 81.25$ in order to have 99$ and to buy
the finger print kit that he always wanted.






TSO

He needs to save $99 to buy a finger print kit.
He has already saved $18.
He spent $0.25 from his $18 to buy a magnifying glass.

So, he has currently saved 18 - 0.25, which is 17.75

And so he needs to save 99 - 17.75 to get the finger print kit, which is $81.25
