Question

Your office manager has given you a budget of $30,000 to replace the old computers in your office with new ones. Each new computer will cost $550. You make a quick count and determine that 15 computers will need to be replaced. How much money will be left (per week) for the next six weeks?

Answer 1

1) 550 x 15 = 8250 (First you want to get the total cost of the computers)

2) 30,000 - 8250 = 21,750 (Then you want to subtract that by 30,000 to see how much money is left over)

3) 21,750/6 = 3625 (Then divide by 6 ,by the weeks, and get your answer)

Answer: $3625
