Question

Dan earns $42.75 per month working as a tutor. He worked as a tutor for 4 months. He also earned $52.45 walking dogs in the neighborhood. He spent $18.50 of his total earning to buy a movie ticket and candy. Dan put of the remaining money in his savings account.


Dan used the following steps to find the total money he put in his savings account:


Step 1: [($42.75 ⋅ 4) + $52.45 − $18.50] ⋅


Step 2: [$171 + $52.45 − $18.50] ⋅


Step 3: 241.95 ⋅


Step 4: $80.65


In which step did Dan first make an error? Use words to explain how Dan can correct his error. Pls use full explanation :p

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Dan made mistake in step 3

Solution of step 2 should be like this

$171 + $ 52.45 - $ 18.50 = [$171 + $ 52.45] - $ 18.50 = $223.45 - $18.50

                                     = $204.95

To correct his error Dan needs to subtract $37 from the amount he got in step 3.

Then corrected step 3 would be $204.95
