Thor spent the day at the mall. First, he bought four magazines for $\$ 45$ each. Later, he bought three phones for $\$ 20$ each. After that, he found two ten dollar bills. Also, he returned three magazines. Write the total change to Thor's funds as an integer.
Finally, we subtract the amount he found and the amount he got back from the total amount spent. So, the total change to Thor's funds is \(240 - 20 - 135 = 85\) dollars.
Step 1 :First, we need to calculate the total amount Thor spent on magazines and phones. He bought 4 magazines at $45 each, and 3 phones at $20 each. So, the total amount spent is \(4 \times 45 + 3 \times 20 = 240\) dollars.
Step 2 :Then, we need to subtract the amount he found and the amount he got back from returning the magazines. He found two ten dollar bills, so he found \(2 \times 10 = 20\) dollars.
Step 3 :He returned 3 magazines at $45 each, so he got back \(3 \times 45 = 135\) dollars.
Step 4 :Finally, we subtract the amount he found and the amount he got back from the total amount spent. So, the total change to Thor's funds is \(240 - 20 - 135 = 85\) dollars.
