Answer 2

$58.00

Explanation:

Colin spent
`(3)/(4)` of his wages on rent.

His weekly salary was = $464.00

The amount he spent on his rent =
`(3)/(4)` × 464

=
`(1392)/(4)`

= $348

He spent his on his food =
`(1)/(8)` × 464

= $58

He spent his money on food and rent = 348 + 58 = $406

Now he has left with = 464 - 406

= $58.00

Colin has money left with $58.00
