You have $1,500 to spend over a five month semester to cover your living expenses. In the first month, you spend $150 at restaurants, $50 on personal care items, $40 on a pair of jeans, $60 on your cell phone bill, and you fly home for $200 to visit your friends. How much can you spend on average in each of the next four months to stay within your spending plan?
1st month you spent $300. And the flight back is $200. 300+200=500. 1500-500=1000. Yoy have 1000 dollars to spend in 4 months. 1000/4=250, so each month you can spend $250.
