Jan 27, 2017

Harvey needs to save $$ 71.72$ $$71.72$ more in order to be able to buy the gifts.

Explanation:

First you have to add the cost of the gifts Harvey wants to buy.

$35.92 + 52.08 = 88$ $35.92+52.08=88$

Now we know how much money Harvey needs, we subtract from the total the amount he has already saved to determine the difference.

$88.00 - 16.28 = 71.72$ $88.00-16.28=71.72$

This amount is required to be saved by Harvey to enable him to buy the gifts for his father and sister.
