B. Yes, she has $[/tex]\[tex]$ 1,170$[/tex] left over.
C. No, she still needs [tex]$\$[/tex] 330[tex]$ to pay her bills.
D. No, she still needs $[/tex]\[tex]$ 420$[/tex] to pay her bills.



Answer :

To determine whether Krystal has enough money left over for clothes and savings for rent, let's break down her expenses and income step-by-step:

1. Calculate Total Monthly Income:
- Krystal's income every two weeks is \[tex]$750. - There are usually 4 weeks in a month, so she gets paid twice a month. - Therefore, her total monthly income is: \[ 750 + 750 = 1500 \, \text{dollars per month} \] 2. Calculate Total Monthly Expenses: - Krystal’s expenses are: - Food: \$[/tex]350
- Gas: \[tex]$120 - Rent: \$[/tex]700

- Adding these expenses together, we get:
[tex]\[ 350 + 120 + 700 = 1170 \, \text{dollars per month} \][/tex]

3. Determine the Amount Left After Paying Bills:
- Subtract the total expense from the total income to see how much she has left after paying the bills:
[tex]\[ 1500 - 1170 = 330 \, \text{dollars left over} \][/tex]

Based on the calculations:

- Yes, she has \[tex]$330 left over. This conclusion matches one of the options provided in the question. Therefore, considering the above details: - Yes, she has \$[/tex]330 left over.
- Yes, she has \[tex]$1170 left over. - No, she still needs \$[/tex]330 to pay her bills.
- No, she still needs \[tex]$420 to pay her bills. The correct statement is: - No, she still needs \$[/tex]420 to pay her bills.

After calculating the total income and expenses, Krystal still needs \$420 to cover her expenses.
