Question

Benny opened a bank account. He deposited $92.50 into his account every month for 10 months. He used $36.50 every month to pay for art lessons. After 10 months, he used 1 over 2 of the total money left in his account to go to a summer camp for artists. What is the total amount of money Benny spent to go to the summer camp?

A. $140.00

B. $280.00

C. $420.00

D. $440.00

Answer 1

$92.50 * 10 =$925 ( deposited$92.50 into his account every month for 10 so we multiply)

$36.50*10 = $365 ( used $36.50 every month to pay art lessons every month means he took out)

925-365=560 ( total amt left in the account after taking out $365)

He used 1 over 2 of total money means

560/2 = 280

The answer would be B $280.

Hope this helps!!
