How much Avery kept?

Question

Avery received $80 in cash for mowimg lawns. She did the following with the $80. Put 20% of the $80 into a bank account, spent 1/4 of the $80, and kept the rest of the $80 in cash. How much of the $80 did Avery keep in cash?

Answer 1

Avery put $16 into the bank:  20% of $80 = 0.20(80) = 16

 

Avery spent $20: 1/4 of $80 = 80 divided by 4 = 80/4 = 20

 

Avery kept $44:  80 - 16 = 64  and 64 - 20 = 44
