A band earned $550.00 for playing at a concert. Their manager takes 15% of the money earned for each show and the band is donating 20% of the money earned to charity. How much money is left for the band to split?

The amount of the money earned left for the band to split is $357.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount the band earned for playing at the concert = $550.00

The percentage of the money earned taken by the manager = 15%

The percentage of the money earned the band is donating to charity = 20%

The amount of the money earned the manager takes = 15/100 × 550 = 82.5

∴ The amount of the money earned the manager takes = $82.5

The amount of the money earned that is donated to charity = 20/100 × 550 = 110

∴ The amount of the money earned that is donated to charity = $110

The amount of the money earned left for the band to split = $550 - $82.5 - $110 = $357.5.
