Question

Catie earned $3,511.95 last month. She used 3/5 of her earnings to pay her bills. With the remaining money she bought two skirts for $21.99 each and a pair of sunglasses for $14.99
How much money does Catie have left from last month’s earnings?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Amount \ left = 1345.81$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Total \ earning = T= 3,511.95$

$Spent \ on \ Bills = B = \frac{3}{5} T = 2107.17$

$Remaining \ amount = R = T-B = 3,511.95 - 2107.17\\R = 1404.78$

$Spent \ on \ Shopping = S = 2( 21.99) + 14.99\\S = 58.97$

$Amount \ left = L = R - S\\Amount \ left = 1404.78 - 58.97\\Amount \ left = 1345.81$
