Problema Solution

I tried salving my problem I couldn't get it right.. here's the question ---> Stu allocated 12% of his net monthly income of $1,768.94 for eating out.

He found he was spending too much for eating out. He wanted to reduce

his monthly expense for eating out to $150 and put the extra money in

savings. How much money could he put in savings each month by doing

that?

a. $62.27

b. $150

c. $212.27

d. $52.63

Answer provided by our tutors

the money Stu spent for eating out before reducing his expenses:


0.12*1,768.94 = $212.2728


reducing his monthly expense for eating out to $150 means he will save:


$212.2728 - $150 = $62,2728


The answer is a. $62.27.
