B) Php 8.20
C) Php 29.40
D) Php 170.55

Answer 1

Answer: Php 107.55

Explanation:

From the question, Marlon saves Php 4.50 on Monday, Php 7.25 on Tuesday, Php 5.55 on Wednesday, Php 3.95 on Thursday, and Php 8.15 on Friday . The Total amount saved will be:

= 4.50 + 7.25 + 5.55 + 3.95 + 8.15

= 29.40

Amount saved for 3 weeks will be:

= 29.40 × 3

= 88.20

Since the lunch box he wants to buy costs Php 195.75 and he has saved Php 88.20. The remaining amount will be:

= 195.75 - 88.20

= 107.55
