Me will give brainlest and 20 points dont search it up. mariah earns $32.75 per week working as a pet sitter. she worked as a pet sitter for 2 weeks. she previously saved $70.99 in allowance money. she spent $12.25 of her total earning to buy video games. mariah put 1 over 4 of the remaining money in her savings account. mariah used the following steps to find the total money she put in her savings account: step 1: [($32.75 ⋅ 2) + $70.99 − $12.25] ⋅ 1 over 4 step 2: [$65.5 + $70.99 − $12.25] ⋅ 1 over 4 step 3: $136.49 − $3.0625 = $133.4275 in which step did mariah first make an error? explain, using words, how mariah can correct her error.

Mariah only multiplied the 1/4 by 12.25  not by the entire term in the brackets.  The order of operations states to complete what is in the brackets first  so add 65.5 and 70.99 then subtract 12.25  before multiplying by 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve the problem

She earns 32.75*2  for 2 weeks of pet sitting.

She saved 70.99

Add these together

32.75*2 + 70.99

Then she spent 12.25 so we subtract this

32.75*2 + 70.99 - 12.25

 Now we multiply by 1/4 to see what she puts in her savings account

[32.75*2 + 70.99 - 12.25] *1/4

[65.5 + 70.99 -12.25] * 1/4

[136.49 - 12.25] * 1/4

124.24 * 1/4

31.06

Mariah only multiplied the 1/4 by 12.25  not by the entire term in the brackets.  The order of operations states to complete what is in the brackets first  so add 65.5 and 70.99 then subtract 12.25  before multiplying by 1/4

no this is a nonlinear negative
