rent and food?

Answer 1

$618.95 rounded up. 0.004c

£388.09 on rent and $230.84 food

We can round up and state $619 to nearest tenth.

Or leave as non rounded Total $618.93

Explanation:

27% of 1,437.40=388.09

1,437.40 - 388.09 = 1049.31

22% of 1049.31 = 230.8482

$230,84 Shown here, as not round up or down as 230.84 as £388.09 was not rounded up from 388.098.

= $618.95 rounded up. 0.004c
