Final answer:

Marcos will have $81 left to spend after allocating certain percentages of his $300 earnings to lawn equipment repairs, savings, and canvas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcos earned $300 mowing lawns this month. According to the given percentages, Marcos will allocate his earnings in the following manner:

  • 18% for repairing lawn equipment
  • 20% into savings
  • 35% for canvas

To calculate the remaining amount that Marcos will have to spend, we need to sum up the allocated percentages and subtract from 100%:

Remaining percentage = 100% - (18% + 20% + 35%)

Remaining percentage = 100% - 73% = 27%

Now we can find the amount corresponding to 27% of his earnings:

Remaining amount to spend = 27% of $300

Remaining amount to spend = 0.27 x $300 = $81

Therefore, Marcos will have $81 left to spend after he has allocated money for repairs, savings, and canvas.
