Question

A band is receiving $650.00 for playing at a festival. Their manager takes 15% of the money received for each show, and the band pays their sound technician 10% of all profit. How much money is left for the band to split?

Answer 1

We have the following:

To find the answer we must subtract the percentages as follows

$\begin{gathered} 650-\frac{15}{100}\cdot650-\frac{10}{100}\cdot650 \\ 650-97.5-65=487.5 \end{gathered}$

Therefore to distribute among the band $487.5
