Patrick saved $500. He received 25% of the money for his birthday, saved 30% of the remainder for his allowance, and earned the rest of it by mowing laws. How much of his savings did he earn by mowing laws?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Patrick earned $262.50 by mowing lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

500*0.75=375

375*.7=262.5

Answer:

$262.50

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a poorly worded question.

25 Percent of the 500 was from his birthday money.

500 * .25 = 125

That leaves 500-125 = 375

He saved 30 % of the 375 from his allowance

375 * .3 =112.50

375-112.50 =262.50

The rest is from mowing lawns.
