Question

Huey works 175 hours each month and earns $14.25 per hour after taxes. His monthly budget is shown. How much money is left over in his budget for unplanned expenses?

Answer 1

Nothing will be left over.

Explanation:

You need to multiply the 175 by 14.25 to get his total income each month.

Then you add all of the expenses of 1250, 200, 350, 400, 225, 300.

Huey earns 2,493.75 every month, and his expenses are 2,725.

2,493.75 - 2725 = a negative rational number

I ain't gonna do it, because he ain't got no money in his wallet.

(I don't talk like that above, I'm just pretending to be an official Texan.)

If he has negative money left over, I don't think he would spend some more tbh, so the answer would be nothing would be left over.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

Answer 2

For this case we have the following equation:
y = 14.25x
Where,
x: number of hours
y: total salary
For x = 175 we have:
y = 14.25 * (175)
y = 2493.75
The amount of money for unexpected expenses is:
unplanned expenses = 2493.75 - 1250 - 200 - 350 - 400 - 225 - 300
unplanned expenses = -231.25 <0
We note that there is no money left for unexpected expenses
Answer:
there is nothing left over
