Aaron's dad gave him $50 for cutting their grass. Aaron used the money to buy a $9.75 hat and two hamburgers that cost $1.25 each. Aaron also bought a birthday gift for his mom. If Aaron went home with 1/5 of the money his dad gave him, how much did the birthday gift cost? Show Work!
(A) $27.75
(B) $28.75
(C) $37.75
(D) $38.75
50-9.75-1.25-1.25=37.75. 1/5 of 50 is 10, so I subtracted 27.75 from 37.75 and got 10.00. The 27.75 made the difference 10.00, so that´s how I got the answer.
