Question

Jeremy received a bill with a balance due of $25.60. After an error was corrected, the new balance due was 1/4 of the original balance due. What was the balance due?

Answer 1

After correcting an error, Jeremy's new balance due on the bill is $6.40, which is one-fourth of the original amount of $25.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy initially received a bill with a balance due of $25.60. After an error was corrected on the bill, the new balance due became 1/4 of the original balance due. To calculate the new balance, we need to divide the original balance due by 4.

Calculation: $25.60 ÷ 4 = $6.40

Therefore, the new balance due after the correction is $6.40.

Answer 2

Answer: $6.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy received a bill that was $25.60.

This was wrong and the actual amount due was 1/4 of the above figure.

The actual figure must therefore be:

= 25.60 * 1/4

= $6.40
