Question

Sam saved $40 each month for 3 years. Then, he spent 65% of his savings on a cruise. How much of his savings was left? A. $420 B. $588 C. $1,092 D. $1,260​

Answer 1

$588 was left

Explanation:

1. Since it was $40 for 3.5 years, and there are 12 months in a year, we do: (3*12+6)*40=1680
2. 65%= 13/20
3. 13/20 * 1680
4. Sam paid $1092
5. 1680 - 1092 = 588
