Question

Mr. Vaughn set aside $200 of his income each month for years toward home repairs. He spent 30% of the money he set aside to replace a broken water heater. How much of the money he set aside did Mr. Vaughn have left after paying for the water heater?

Answer 1

The answer is that Mr. Vaughn have $140 left from the money he set aside after paying for the water heater.

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, first you have to calculate 30% of the amount Mr. Vaughn set aside of his income each month to determine the money he spent to replace the broken water heater:

$200*30%=$60

Now, you have to subtract the amount that represents the 30% from the amount he set aside:

$200-$60=$140

According to this, the answer is that Mr. Vaughn have $140 left from the money he set aside after paying for the water heater.
