Coles paycheck was $257.20. He put 25% of it into his savings account and used 1/3 of what was left to pay bills. How much money does he have remaining from his paycheck?
25% is also 1/4.
Calculate savings
$257.20(0.25) = $64.3
We have 75% left over = $192.90
Coles pays 1/3 of this for bills = $192.90 * 1/3 = $64.30
Subtract the bills: $192.90 - $64.30 = $128.60
