Half of Jerome's money was $43. He gave $8 to Meg and thrice as much to Bianca. How much does Jerome have left?
Jerome has $43 x 2 = $<T>multiply(43, 2)=86
After giving Meg $8, he had only $86 - $8 = $<T>subtract(86, 8)=78 left.
Then he gave Bianca $8 x 3 = $<T>multiply(8, 3)=24
So, Jerome has only $78 - $24 = $<T>subtract(78, 24)=54 left.
