Question

A contractor estimated that her expenses for a construction project would be between 700 000 and 750 000. She has already spent 496 000. How much more can she spend and remain within her estimate?

Answer 1

Subtract 496,000 from 750,000 to get the most that she can spend and remain within the estimate. Subtract 496,000 from 700,000 to find how much she must spend to come within the minimum estimate range.
