4 amy borrows $132.72 to buy supplies for her birthday party. she receives gifts and money from her friends and family. the total amount of money that amy receives is $250.50. how much money does amy have after she pays back what she borrowed?

Explanation:

Problem 2: Simplify \(\boldsymbol{\frac{-1(15 + 4 - 27)}{16}}\)

Step1: Simplify the numerator's parentheses

First, calculate the expression inside the parentheses: \(15 + 4 - 27\).
\(15 + 4 = 19\), then \(19 - 27 = -8\). So the numerator becomes \(-1\times(-8)\).

Step2: Calculate the numerator

Multiply \(-1\) by \(-8\): \(-1\times(-8) = 8\). Now the fraction is \(\frac{8}{16}\).

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Simplify \(\frac{8}{16}\) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 8.
\(\frac{8\div8}{16\div8} = \frac{1}{2}\).

Step1: Identify the amounts

Amy borrowed \(\$132.72\) and received \(\$250.50\). To find out how much she has after paying back the borrowed amount, we subtract the borrowed amount from the received amount.

Step2: Perform the subtraction

Subtract \(\$132.72\) from \(\$250.50\): \(250.50 - 132.72\).
\(250.50 - 132.72 = 117.78\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
