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 1/2 of the
Total amount 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

Amount he had in the bank after 10 months = 10 * 92.50 - 10 * 36.50

= 10 ( 92.50 - 36.50) = $560

Half of this = $280 dollars (answer)

Its B

Answer 2

Hi!

92.50 * 10 = 925

36.50 * 10 = 365

925-365 = 560

560/2 = 280

He used $280 to go to summer camp.

Hope this helps! :)
