Question

Ally, barbara and katherine will share the cost of a vacation rental for a week. Ally agrees to pay 30% of the cost. Barbara agrees to pay 0.45 of the cost. Katherine will pay the remaining balance. If the total rental cost is $960, how much will katherine pay towards the weeks rent?

Answer 1

960 X 0.3 = $288
960X 0.45 = $432
960 - 288 - 432 = $240
Katherine will pay $240

Answer 2

Answer:

Katherine will pay towards the weeks rent:

• $240

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must take the total value and multiply it by the percentage you want to pay each:

• Amount paid by Ally = $960 * 0.3 = $288
• Amount paid by Barbara = $960 * 0.45 = $432

Then you need to take those two amounts and subtract them from the total value to find out how much Katherine will pay:

• Amount paid by Katherine = $960 - $288 - $432
• Amount paid by Katherine = $240
