Karen spends $450 on monthly bills. Of this total amount, 12% is for phone service, 1/10 is for Internet service, and 20% is for utilities. If the rest of the total amount is for food, how much does Karen have for food?

Answer: $251 i hope it helps!

Explanation:

12%= 0.12 = 12/100 = 108/900

1/10 = 90/900

2/9 = 200/900

108/900 + 90/900 + 200/900 = 398/900 used

900- 398 = 502

502/900 = 251/ 450

251/450 × 450 = 251
