Benny opened a bank account. He deposited $92.50 into his account every month for 10 months. He used $36.50 every month to pay for art lessons. After 10 months, he used 1 over 2 of the total money left in his account to go to a summer camp for artists. What is the total amount of money Benny spent to go to the summer camp? (5 points)
A.) $140.00
B.) $280.00
C.) $420.00
D.) $440.00
The total amount of money Benny deposited in his account over 10 months is $92.50 x 10 = $<<92.50*10=925.00>>925.00.
The total amount of money he paid for art lessons is $36.50 x 10 = $<<36.50*10=365.00>>365.00.
Thus, the total amount of money left in his account is $925.00 - $365.00 = $<<925-365=560>>560.00.
The amount of money he used for the summer camp is $560.00/2 = $<<560/2=280>>280.00.
Therefore, the answer is B.) $280.00. Answer: \boxed{B}.
