Nicole earned $35 for babysitting, then spent $18.48 on books and coffee at the bookstore. How much of her babysitting money does she still have for the rest of the week?

1. The money left is the starting amount minus the amount spent. 2. Line up the decimal points and subtract: 35.00 minus 18.48. 3. 35.00 minus 18.48 equals 16.52, so Nicole has $16.52 left. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Decimals", section 5.2 Decimal Operations_
