Sonny uses the following steps to find the total money he put in his savings account.Step 1: ($22.75 + 3) + $32.75 - $14.25) •1/5Step 2: ($44.25) • 1/5Step 3: $11.0625In which step did Sunny first make an error? Use words to explain how Sunny can correct his error.

Answer 1

Looking at step 1, he was correct

Looking at step 2, he made the first error because ($22.75 + 3) + $32.75 - $14.25) won't be equal to 44.25. I stead, it will be equal to 86.75

The third step is also wrong because the savings would be 86.75/5 = 17.35 and not 11.0625
