Worked Solution
Step 1: Calculate total spent on book and game
Book ($18) + Game ($22) = $40
Step 2: Calculate remaining money after buying book and game
$45 - $40 = $5
Step 3: Check if he can afford the toy
Toy costs $10, but he only has $5 left
Since $5 < $10, he doesn't have enough for the toy yet.
Wait, let me reconsider the answer options. Actually, he needs $10 - $5 = $5 more. But the first option says he has $5 left, which is correct. So the question might be asking if he needs more, and the answer is that he doesn't need more if he's not buying the toy, but he needs $5 more if he wants to buy it.
Re-reading: He needs $5 more to buy the toy (since he has $5 and the toy costs $10).
Actually, based on the answer choice given as correct, it seems the interpretation is that he only has $5 left after the first two purchases, which is true.
Correct answer: He doesn't need more money, he has $5 left
