show your work.

37*20 = 740/4 = 185 -> Spent on new CD's

740 - 185 = $ 555 -> Savings Account

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money she spend on CDs: $185

Amount of money she is going to be in her savings account: $555

Step-by-step explanation:

She sold 37 pairs of earrings with each of them costing 20 dollars.

That means she made 20(37)=740 dollars.

She is going to use 1/4 of 740 dollars to buy new CDS. This means she is going to use 740/4 =185 dollars on CDs.

So what money is left from 740 dollars after spending 185 dollars?

740-185=555 dollars

She is going to put 555 dollars into savings.

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered
