Benny opened a bank account. He deposited $92.50 into his account every month for 10 months. He used $36.50 every month to pay f
or art lessons. After 10 months, he used 1 over 2 of the total money left in his account to go to a summer camp for artists. What is the total amount of money Benny spent to go to the summer camp? $140.00 $280.00 $420.00 $440.00
First take $92.50 and multiply by 10 for each month it was spent. That equals $925. Then take $36.50 and multiply that by 10 as well because he used it for 10 months. You get $365. But remember, the $365 is what was taken OUT of his bank account. So, subtract 925 - 365 and get 560. 1/2 means one half. That means take half of our answer, 560. 560 divided by 2 is 280. So, your answer is $280.00
