Josh has some money. He spent $1.75 on a drink, and then spent another $1.25. If he had $6 left, how much money, in dollars, did Josh have at first? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Josh spent 1.75 + 1.25 = 3 dollars in total. Josh had 6 + 3 = 9 dollars at first. So the final answer is 9.
