Just take it one step at at time.
Start with $2941.
She gets $100 in cash so 2941-100 = 2841 left
Now 20% of this: 20 per cent can be written as 20 parts per 'cent' (or 100) i.e. 20/100 or 0.20
So multiply 0.20 by 2841 to give 20% of this amount = $568.20
So $568.20 goes into the savings.
So take this amount from 2841 to find how much is left to put into the checking account:
2841 - 568.20 = $2272.80
