Brenda bought a new computer for ​$380. She made a payment of ​$140 and got a discount of ​$30. Her mother paid 1/2 of the balance. How much does Brenda have left to​ pay?

Answer 1

The computer cost 380 but she made a payment of 130 and got a discount of 30. Firstly take the whole amount which is 380, and subtract 140 from 380 that gets you 240 now subtract (30 dollars the discount) that gets you 210. The question is asking how much does Brenda have left to pay which is 210

Answer 2

She needs to pay $20 more.

Explanation:

Mothers payment: $360 divided by 2 = $190 left for Brenda

Brenda + discount payments: $190 - $140 = $50

$50 - $30 discount = $20
