Question

Jillene spends $240 on a new business the first month. If she spends 24% more each month, approximately how much will she spend (total sum) in 6 months?

Answer 1

Answer: $1785.60

Explanation:

240 x 6 = 1440

240 x 0.24 = 57.6

57.6 x 6 = 345.6

1440 + 345.6 = 1785.60

Final Answer: $1785.60

Answer 2

Jillene will spend $345.60 in 6 months.

Explanation:

To find the answer we will turn 24% into a decimal. 24% ÷ 100 = 0.24. Now multiply 0.24 by $240 and we get $57.60. Because we are trying to find how much Jillene will spend in 6 months, we will multiply $57.60 by 6, which is $345.60. Therefore, $345.60 is our answer.
