Answer:

<em>$120</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of the earnings is spent on rent.

The earnings is an unknown, so we call it x.

The rent is $800, so 40% of x equals $800.

40% * x = 800

0.4x = 800

x = 800/0.4

x = 2000

She earns $2000 per month.

After paying rent, the remaining amount is

$2000 - $800 = $1200

She spends 10% of the remaining amount on entertainment.

10% of $1200 = 10% * $1200 = 0.1 * $1200 = $120
