Question

Becky is working on a weekly budget. She earns $385 per week. Becky spends $200 per week on rent and utilities plus $57 on food. After paying for rent, utilities, and food, Becky deposits 3/4 of the amount left over into a savings account. She spends the rest on entertainment. How much money does she spend on entertainment?

Answer 1

$32

Explanation:

200 + 57 = 257.

385 - 257 = 128

128 x 3/4 = 96 (deposited)

128 - 96 = 32

Becky spends $32 on entertainment
