Question

Of maceo’s $750 salary,he puts 10% in his savings account,1/8 towards rent,and 1/3 for food. How much of his salary was left (in dollars) for other expenditures

Answer 1

413.44 but the whole decimal is 413.4375

Explanation:

first I turned the fractions into percents...

1/3- 30% and 1/8- 12.5

$750-10%= $675

675-12.5%= 590.63 (or 590.635)

590.63-30%= 413.441

Hope it helps some!
