Claire won a $100 gift card to her favorite coffee shop. She wants to treat herself to a latte that cost $3.75 and a croissant for $3.50 every morning for a week. She also plans to buy 5 cookies that cost $1.25 each. How much money will be left on her card after a week of coffee and pastry? Let's be accurate as possible.
Every day she buys $3.75 latte and $3.50 croissant for a total of 3.75 + 3.50 = $7.25 per day. If she spends $7.25 a day for 7 days she will spend 7.25 * 7 = $50.75 in one week. If she buys 5 cookies at $1.25 each she will spend 5 * 1.25 = $6.25. Her gift card is for $100 and she spends $50.75 and an additional $6.25 that will leave her with 100 - 50.75 - 6.25 = $43.00 on her gift card.
The answer: 43.
