After putting â…“ aside for her share of rent and utilities and spending $75 on groceries, what is left from her weekly paycheck?

  • A. $150
  • B. $214.86
  • C. $204.26
  • D. $192.76
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: If she puts aside 1/3 of her paycheck for rent and utilities, this means she spends 3 portions in total. So, 1 portion represents 1/3 of the paycheck. Since she spends $75 on groceries, it leaves 2 portions. The total amount of 3 portions is the paycheck. To find out one portion, divide the total paycheck by 3: Paycheck = 3 portions. $75 is one portion. Multiply the one portion by 3 to find the total paycheck: $75 * 3 = $225. Subtract the spent amount from the weekly paycheck: $225 - $75 = $150. Therefore, the amount left from her weekly paycheck is $150. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation based on the given information.
