Chad spent $19 on a shirt and $47 on a pair of shoes, which is $28 more than the shirt. The total amount spent on both items is $66. After spending this amount, Chad had $13 left over, indicating he initially had $79. Therefore, the calculations confirm the prices and total expenditures accurately.

Re: Help with 2nd grade problem using tape diagrahm

Hello and welcome to MHB! (Wave)

I would begin by letting (where all prices are in dollars):

$$A$$ = the price of the shirt

$$B$$ = the price of the shoes

Now, we are given:

$$A=19$$

And we are told the price of the shoes is 28 more than that of the shirt...so we may write:

$$B=A+28=\,?$$

the sum of Aand B is 47 ,is this ans, how much money did he spend for shirt and shoes, if $13 left over how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt nd shoes

Yes,

$$B=A+28=19+28=47$$

For part b), let $T$ be the total amount Brad spent, which is the sum of the amounts spent on shirt and shoes:

$$T=A+B=19+47=\,?$$
 
Writing abstract equations in "A" and "B" is probably a bit much for "2nd grade"!

"Chad bought a shirt for \$19 and a pair of shoes for \$28 more than shirt"

"a. How much was the pair of shoes?"
\$28 more than \$19 is 19+ 28= \$47.

"B. How much money did chad spend on the shirt and shoes?"
Add the two separate costs- 19+ 47= \$66.

"c. if chad had 13 dollars left over, how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt and shoes?"
If he spent \$66 and had \$13 still, then he must have had 66+ 13= \$79.
 

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
