On the first day of the month, John counted his money and found he had $28.35. Since then, he has received an additional $17.26 from the jobs he does after school. How much money does he have now?
we know that
1) On the first day of the month, John counted his money and found he had \(\$28.35\)
2) He has received an additional \(\$17.26\)
so
to find the total money he has now sum the two quantities
\(\$28.35+\$17.26=\$45.61\)
therefore
the answer is
\(\$45.61\)
