Anastasia had a part-time job last year. She made $20 per hour and worked every week of the year. Each week she worked 7 hours. She paid her monthly expenses and saved the rest of her earnings. At the end of the year, she had $2,000 in savings. What were her average monthly expenses, rounded to the nearest dollar?

A.
$440
B.
$473
C.
$475
D.
$568

Answer 1

The answer is A.440

Answer 2

A. $440

Explanation:

What is important to know here is how many weeks does the year have. A regular year has 52 weeks.

To calculate this we must first multiply the hours worked, the value of these and finally the weeks the year have.

7*20*52= 7280.

To the result of that, you must deduct the savings Anastasia had wich are $2000.

7280-2000= 5280.

$5280 is the amount of money spent on expenses for the entire year. If you divide that between the number of months a year has (12) you will reach the answer to the question.

5280/12= 440.

I hope this answer helps you.
