Question

Aniya saved $5 per month in a bank account for 4 1/2 years. She spent 20% of her savings on a new watch. How much did Aniya have left in her account?

Answer 1

5x48 + 5x6 = 270
20%x270 = 54
270-54= 216

Answer 2

Answer:

$216

Step-by-step explanation:

lets convert 4.5 years into months

4.5 years= 54 months

so Aniya saved $5 per month, for 54 months

lets take m as the # of months

5m->5(54)

5(54)=270

Aniya has $270 in her savings. Then she spent 20% of it on a watch

so

0.2*270=54

20% of 270 is 54 so

270-54=216

Aniya has $216 left
