To find out how much money Anna had left in the jar, we need to break down the problem into smaller steps.

Step 1: Calculate the total amount of money Anna saved in the jar over 2 1/2 years.

Since Anna saved $20 in a jar each month, we can multiply 20 by the total number of months in 2 1/2 years.

There are 12 months in a year, so to find the total number of months in 2 1/2 years, we calculate:

2 1/2 years = 2.5 years

Total number of months = 2.5 years * 12 months/year = 30 months

Total amount saved = $20/month * 30 months = $600

So, Anna saved a total of $600 in the jar over 2 1/2 years.

Step 2: Calculate the amount of money Anna spent on a computer, given that she spent 75% of her savings.

To calculate the amount Anna spent on a computer, we multiply her total savings by the percentage spent (75%).

Amount spent = $600 * 75% = $450

So, Anna spent $450 on a computer.

Step 3: Calculate the remaining amount of money Anna has left in the jar.

To find the remaining amount of money Anna has left in the jar, we subtract the amount spent on the computer from her total savings.

Remaining amount = Total amount saved - Amount spent
Remaining amount = $600 - $450 = $150

Therefore, Anna has $150 left in the jar.
