Answer:
Asumming that you are rounding to the nearest hundreth:
1,017.19
Step-by-step explanation:
Find [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of 2,712.5 to find how much money Paulo spends on his car.
[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = .125
Multiply 2,712.5 by .125
2,712.5 × .125 = 339.0625 ≈ 339.06
Now, find [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 2,712.5 to find how much paulo spends on his rent.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = .25
Multiply 2,712.5 by .25
2,712.5 × .25 = 678.125 ≈ 678.13
Add the two values together to get your answer
339.09 +
678.13
----------
1,017.19
(Another way to dolve this problem would be to find [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] of 2,712.5 and subtract it from the origional value, 2,712.5)
