3. Jia wants to buy an appliance that costs [tex]$P4,950.00$[/tex]. If she already paid [tex]$P2,100.00$[/tex], how much more does she need?



Answer :

Sure! Let's solve the problem step-by-step:

1. Total Cost of the Appliance: The total cost of the appliance that Jia wants to buy is ₱495,000.

2. Amount Jia Already Paid: Jia has already paid ₱2,100 for the appliance.

3. Calculate the Remaining Amount: To find out how much more Jia needs to pay, we subtract the amount she has already paid from the total cost.

Remaining Amount = Total Cost - Amount Paid
= ₱495,000 - ₱2,100
= ₱492,900

So, Jia needs to pay ₱492,900 more to purchase the appliance.
