Alice made $1,245 one summer. She spent $120 on a new bike. She spent twice as much on a plane ticket to New York as she spent on her bike. How much money did Alice have left?

A.

Calculate the cost of the plane ticket. Add that number to the cost of the bike. Subtract the sum from $1,245.

B.

Calculate the cost of the plane ticket. Multiply it by 2. Add the cost of the bike. Subtract the sum from $1,245.

C.

Calculate how much more Alice spent on the plane ticket than the bike. Multiply this amount by the number of plane tickets. Add the 2 amounts.

D.

Calculate how much more Alice spent on the plane ticket than the bike. Multiply this amount by the number of plane tickets. Subtract this number from $1,245.
