Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find out how much each person spends on entertainment in a week from the given question.

Casey spends on entertainment = $50 in a week

Kelly spends 10% less than Casey = 10% of $50 = $5

Kelly spends = 50 - 5 = $45 in a week

Megan spends $5 less than Kelly = 45 - 5 = $40 in a week

Therefore Casey spends $50, Kelly spends $45 and Megan spends $40.

Answer is Megan spends $40 in a week.

Answer 2

It's b -40 Casey spends 50
Kelly spends 50- 50x0.10 (5)= 45
Megan spends 45-5 =(40)
