Fred earns $45 mowing the lawn. He spends $5 on music and puts half of what's left in a savings account. He then gets another $5 for washing his neighbor's car.
First, write the expression that represents the number of dollars Fred keeps (and does not put in his savings account), and then simplify.

Respuesta :

The total amount that Fred keeps (and does not put in his savings account) is $20

Total earnings of Fred = $45

Amount spent on music = $5

Amount remaining after spending on music = $40

Fred puts half of what's left in a savings account.

Total amount put in the savings account = 40/2

Total amount put in the savings account = $20

The total amount that Fred keeps (and does not put in his savings account) is $20
