Well you know she has $1150, and she has already spent $84, so how much does she have leftover?

Okay, so you know each watch costs $99, so based on that, what do you do next?

You divide 1066 divided by 99?

Just a tip, for next time, set up an equation. So this equation would be.....

1150 =(99x) + 84 and solve for x😊
