Question

Kim paycheck was $257.20. She put 1/4 of her paycheck into a savings account and used 1/3 of what was left to pay bills. How much money does she have remaining from her paycheck

Answer 1

Hello!

Let's divide Kim's paycheck by 4 to calculate how much she put in her savings account, and then subtract that from the paycheck.

257.20 ÷ 4 = 64.30

257.20 - 64.30 = 192.9

Now, divide this by 3 and then subtract the money she used to pay her bills to find how much money Kim has left.

192.9 ÷ 3 = 64.30

192.9 - 64.30 = 128.6

A N S W E R:

Kim has $128.60 remaining from her paycheck.
