Question

While reviewing his budget, Andre calculated his variable and total expenses for last month: variable expenses: $2,863.09 total expenses: $4,630.16 Write the expense equation to represent Andre's fixed expenses. Don't include the $ symbol

Answer 1

Andre's fixed expenses are $1,767.07.

Explanation:

Total expenses are the sum of variable expenses and fixed expenses

`T=V+F`

Where
`T` is total expenses,
`V` is variable expenses and
`F` is fixed expenses.

We know that
`T=4,630.16; V=2,863.09`. Replacing these values, and solving for F, we have

`T=V+F\\F=T-V\\F=4,630.16-2,863.09\\F=1,767.07`

Therefore, Andre's fixed expenses are $1,767.07.

Answer 2

Fixed expenses = 1767.07

Explanation:

Andre calculated his variable and total expenses for last month.

His variable expenses is $2,863.09

His total expenses is $4,630.16

Now, Total expenses = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses

So, Fixed expenses = Total expenses - Variable expenses

⇒ F = T - V

⇒ F = 4630.16 - 2863.09

⇒ F = 1767.07

So, this the equation to represent Andre's fixed income. (Answer)
