How John Spends His Monthly Paycheck
13. John puts 1 ⁄4 of his monthly paycheck toward
A. his hobby
B. car and bike repair
C. entertainment
D. school supplies
E. the bank
To answer this question, you must be able to read the graph and apply some simple
math. Notice how the information is given in the graph. Each item is given along
with the percent of money spent on that item. One-quarter is the same as 25%, so
entertainment is the answer you are looking for, and C is the correct answer.
14. If John receives $100 in this month’s paycheck, how much will he put
in the bank?
A. $2
B. $20
C. $35
D. $60
E. $80
To answer this question, you must again read the graph carefully and apply some
simple math. John puts 20% of his income in the bank, and 20% of $100 is $20.
So he will put $20 in the bank, which is choice B.
