nicole earned 75

Total money earned = 75

she put 1/3 of her money into her savings account.


(1)/(3)\text{ of 75=}(1)/(3)*75\text{ = 25}

After deposit into saving account she left with 75 - 25 amount

After deposit into saving account she left with 50 amount

she bought a shirt for 17.11 and a sweater for 26.74

Cost of shirt = 17.11

Cost of sweater is 26.74


\begin{gathered} 26.74\text{ + 17.11 = }43.85 \\ \text{ Total amount used is }43.85 \end{gathered}

AMount she left = Total amount - Amnount she used

Amount she left = 75 - 43.85

AMount she left = 31.15

She left with 31.15 amount
