Harry earned d dollars mowing lawns. He put 20% of his earnings in the bank and paid back $50.00 to his father. He spent one-fifth of the remaining money on a video game. Which expression represents the amount he spent on the video game?
(0.20 - 10) dollars
(0.20 - 50) dollars
(0.160 + 10) dollars
(0.160 - 10) dollars
Answer:
(0.160 - 10) dollars
Explanation:
Let the total number of earnings be represented by d
Harry earned d dollars mowing lawns. He put 20% of his earnings in the bank
Amount in the bank = 20% of d = 0.20d
He paid back $50.00 to his father.
The amount left = 1d - 0.20d = 0.80d
He paid back his father
Hence:
= (d - 0.20d) - $50
= 0.80d -$50.00
He spent one-fifth of the remaining money on a video game.
The amount remaining
= 0.80d -$50.00
Hence, the amount he spent on video games =
1/5(0.80d - $50.00)
(0.16d - $10.00)
= (0.16d - 10)
= (0.16 - 10) dollars
