Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Sum up the known expenses

$$18.95 + 20.50+12.68$$ $$=39.45 + 12.68$$ $$=52.13$$

Step2: Subtract the sum of known expenses from the total spent

Let (x) be the amount spent on golfing. We know that (x=87.33-(18.95 + 20.50+12.68)) Since (18.95 + 20.50+12.68 = 52.13), then (x = 87.33-52.13) $$x=35.20$$

Answer:

A. $35.20
