Marissa earned $2,250 this month. She has expenses of rent of $800, car payment is $225, utilities are $75, Insurance is $200, car maintenance of $200, and groceries/household supplies at $300. She needs to purchase a new washer and dryer set this month and the lowest price she could find is $500. Can Marissa afford the washer and dryer set this month? Should she save and purchase the set in the following month?

Answer:

The final answer is she should save and purchase the set next month because she has only 450 this month.

Explanation:

2250 - 800 -75 - 225 - 200 - 200 - 300 = 450

450 > 500
