Answer 1

Answer:

Eleanor and Peter's total income

= $597.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Eleanor's Income:

Paycheck = $380.48

Eleanor's Expenses:

Birthday gift= $16.50

Peter's income

Paycheck = $120

Sales of his college textbook = $13.65

Check from Peter's father= $100

Peter's total income =Paycheck + Sales of his college textbook + Check from Peter's father

= $120 + $13.65 + $100

= $233.65

Eleanor and Peter's total income

= Eleanor's Income + Peter's total income - Eleanor's Expenses

= $233.65 + $380.48 - $16.50

= $597.63

Eleanor and Peter's total income

= $597.63
