Question

A total of $228,000 will be evenly spent to renovate 24 apartments. If the first 10 apartments have been completed and paid for, then __?__ is still available for the remaining apartments.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate per apartment;

⟼ 228,000 ÷ 24

⟼ 9,500

Step 2: Multiply the price per apartment by 10;

⟼ 9,500 × 10

⟼ 95,000

Step 3: Substract the amount of 10 apartments from 24 apartments.

⟼ 228,000 - 95,000

⟼ 133,000

Therefore, $133,000 is still available for the remaining apartments.
