Mario got his $10.00 weekly allowance on Monday. He spent 25% of his weekly allowance on Tuesday, 15% of his weekly allowance on Wednesday, and 10% more on Thursday. How much money did he have left to spend for the rest of the week?
He spent 25% + 15% + 10% = 50% of his allowance during the week so he has 100%-50% remaining.
#10.00 x 0.50 = ?? OR another way.
He spent 50% and that is $10.00 x 0.50 = $5.00 spent which leaves $10.00-$5.00 = $5.00 left. OR a longer way,
$10.00 - 0.25*10 = 10.00 - 2.50 leaving 7.50.
Then 7.50 - 0.15*10.00 = 7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
Then 6.00 - 0.10*10.00 = 6.00 - 1.00 = $5.00
To find out how much money Mario had left to spend for the rest of the week, we need to calculate the amount of money he spent on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
1. First, let's find the amount of money Mario spent on Tuesday. He spent 25% of his weekly allowance, which can be calculated by multiplying his weekly allowance by 0.25:
Amount spent on Tuesday = $10.00 x 0.25 = $2.50.
2. Next, let's find the amount of money Mario spent on Wednesday. He spent 15% of his weekly allowance, which can be calculated by multiplying his weekly allowance by 0.15:
Amount spent on Wednesday = $10.00 x 0.15 = $1.50.
3. Lastly, let's find the amount of money Mario spent on Thursday. He spent 10% more than what he spent on Wednesday, so we will add 10% of the amount spent on Wednesday to the amount spent on Wednesday:
Additional amount spent on Thursday = $1.50 x 0.10 = $0.15.
Amount spent on Thursday = $1.50 + $0.15 = $1.65.
Now, let's calculate the total amount of money Mario spent so far:
Total amount spent = Amount spent on Tuesday + Amount spent on Wednesday + Amount spent on Thursday
Total amount spent = $2.50 + $1.50 + $1.65 = $5.65.
To find out how much money Mario has left to spend for the rest of the week, we need to subtract the total amount spent from his weekly allowance:
Amount left to spend = Weekly allowance - Total amount spent
Amount left to spend = $10.00 - $5.65 = $4.35.
Therefore, Mario has $4.35 left to spend for the rest of the week.
