Question

Josh and Pam have bought an older home that needs some repair. After budgeting a total of $1685 for home improvements, they started by spending $425 on small improvements. They would like to replace six interior doors next. What is the maximum amount they can afford to spend on each door?

Answer 1

$210

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total budget = $1,685

Amount spent on small improvements = $425

The budget left after spending on small improvements

= Total budget - Amount spent on small improvements

= $1,685 - $425

= $1,260

Now,

the budget left is the maximum budget for the all 6 interior doors

Thus,

6 × max budget for single door = $1,260

or

Max budget for single door = $210
