Answer:

$1,043.81

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{4}$ ×1,491=372.75

$\frac{1}{20}$ ×1,491=74.55

74.55+372.75=447.19

1,491-447.19= $1,043.81

Answer:

$1043.7

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Amount remaining </h2>

Edward earns $1,491 and spends 1/4 and 1/20 of his salary on rent and water bills.

we can use this to find the remaining amount

1,491 * $\frac{1}{4}$ = 372.75

1,491 * $\frac{1}{20}$ = 74.55

<em><u>add these two amounts , to find the total money spent from his salary.</u></em>

372.75 + 74.55 = 447.3

<em><u>subtract this amount from the money earned to find the money remaining.</u></em>

1,491 - 447.3 = 1043.7

<h3><u>the amount remaining is : $ 1043.7</u></h3>
