Question

Faith Sherlock received her monthly pension check of $1,445.26. From that amount, she transferred $170 to a savings account and paid the electricity bill for $156.33, the gas bill for $9.38, the water bill for $98.42, and the cable television bill for $52.54. How much (in $) remained of Faith's monthly pension?

Answer 1

Faith Sherlock has $958.59 remaining from her monthly pension after transferring money to savings and paying bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money remained from Faith's monthly pension, we need to subtract the amounts she transferred and paid from the total amount of her pension check.

Total amount of Faith's pension check: $1,445.26

Amount transferred to savings account: $170

Total amount paid for bills: $156.33 + $9.38 + $98.42 + $52.54 = $316.67

Remaining amount = Total amount of Faith's pension check - Amount transferred - Total amount paid for bills

= $1,445.26 - $170 - $316.67

= $958.59

Therefore, Faith has $958.59 remaining from her monthly pension.

Answer 2

170 + 156.33 + 9.38 + 98.42 + 52.54= 486.67

1,445.26 - 486.67= 958.59

Faith has $958.59 left.
