Her share would be $305.22. Can Sue afford this?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sue cannot  afford this

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Initially balance = $899.83

She spent $353.76 on rent

Amount left with her = $ 899.83 - $ 353.76 = $ 546.07

Now,

She spent $32.79 on video game

Amount left with her = $ 546.07 - $ 32.79 = $ 513.28

She spent $60.26 on bike maintenance

Amount left with her = $ 513.28 - $ 60.26 = $ 453.02

She spent $55.62 on jacket

Amount left with her = $ 453.02 - $ 55.62 = $ 397.40

She spent  $80.40 on a rug

Amount left with her =  $ 397.40 - $ 80.40 = $ 317

At last,

She spent  $35.77 a night out for

Amount left with her $ 317 - $35.77 = $ 281.23

Now ,

For a new TV she needs $ 305.22 but she has only $ 281.23

Hence,

Sue cannot  afford this
