Question 24 (multiple choice)
Joshua Treet had a $400.00 average monthly expenditure for entertainment during the second quarter of the year. He spent $401.50 in July and $250.00 in August. How much can Joshua spend in September to have the same average as in the second quarter?

A. $498.50
B. $602.65
C. $550.22
D. $548.50

Respuesta :

set up an equation

[$250 + $401.50 + (Sept expenses)] /3 =$400

solve for x

[651.50 + x] /3= 400
[651.50 + x] /3*3= 400*3
651.50 + x = 1200
-651.50 -651.50
————————————
x = 548.50

So your answer is D.
