Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find out how much Ben has left, we need to subtract the total amount he lost from his initial amount.

Amount lost in 7 days = $411 x 7 = $2877

Amount Ben has left = $16,587 - $2877 = $13,710

Therefore, the correct answer is (C). To find out how much money Ben has left after his loss, we need to subtract the total loss from his initial amount of money.

Total loss = $411/day x 7 days = $2,877
Amount left = $16,587 - $2,877 = $13,710

Therefore, the correct answer is C) $13,710.
