Answer: She has left over $8.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Camellia earned $160 and you put 80% of earnings into her savings account:

So, to obtain this number we have to multiply Camellia's earnings by 0.80 (the percentage in decimal form, 80 /100 = 0.80)

$160 x 0.80 = $128 (savings)

If we subtract the number obtained to Camellia's earnings:

$160 -$128 = $32 (money left without purchasing a gift)

She spent 75% of the rest on a gift for her

The rest is $32, so we have to multiply it by the percentage in decimal form (75/100=0.75)

$32 x 0.75 (decimal form) = $24

And finally, subtract that number to the original rest.

$32-$24 = $8

She has left over $8.
