Answer:

Laura will have exactly $72.00 after purchasing the bicycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Laura ends $115 per month of babysitting.

We also learn that she wants to save her money from June and July, which means she wants to save her money over a period of two months.

Therefore, she will earn $115 twice.

[tex]\displaystyle{\$115 \times 2 = \$230}[/tex]

Then, she wants to purchase a bicycle that costs $158, so we need to subtract the cost of the bicycle from her total earnings.

[tex]\$230 - \$158 = \$72[/tex]

Therefore, Laura will have exactly $72.00 remaining after her purchase.
