Bert was able to sell 8 toy phones for $18 each, while Tory was able to sell 7 toy guns for $20 each. How much more did Bert earn than Tory? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Bert was able to earn 8 x $18 = $144 for the toy phones. While Tory was able to earn 7 x $20 = $140 for the toy guns. Therefore, Bert was able to earn $144 – $140 = $4 more than Tory. So the final answer is 4.
