Silas · Answer 1

B) subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

Danielle would have to use the subtract operation to find out if she had enough money to buy the blouse after buying the CDs.

It would turn out like this:

$100 - $37 = $63

Now since Danielle knows that she has $63 dollars left, she has more than enough to buy the $53 blouse.
