Answer 1

You want to multiply 87.60 and 25.60 by 10. 87.60x10=876. 25.60x10=256.876-256=620. Then you will take 1/4 of 620 to get the answer 155 is what she paid for lessons.

Answer 2

Answer:

$155.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Jinni deposited $87.60 every month for 10 months, this represents a total of

$\ 87.60(10)=\ 876$

But, she used $25.60 every month to pay for music classes, the total money spent is

$\ 25.60(10)=\ 256$

So, she has in her bank account

$\ 876 - \ 256 = \ 620$

Then, she uses 1/4 of the total money left ($620) to go to a summer camp, which is

$\frac{1}{4}(\ 620)=\ 155$

Therefore, she spent $155 to go to the summer camp. So, the right answer is the third option.
