- Mary was saving up money to go on a holiday which cost $2502. She has planned to save the remainder of the money for the holiday by the last day in November. What is the average amount of money she would need to save after May and June?
(a)
Amount saved in June
= 75% x 417
=
75100 x 417
= $312.75
(b)
Remaining amount

= $1772.25
Number of months from July to November = 5
Average amount that she needs to save each month
= 1772.25 ÷ 5
= $354.45
Answer(s): (a) $312.75; (b) $354.45
