Question 40406: Alyson opened a savings account with a deposit of $600. She withdrew $15 each day for the next 5 days and then deposited her entire paycheck from Barney's Bascules, bringing her balance to $750. Then she remembered she had promised to donate 25% of her new paycheck to charity. How much should she withdraw from her savings?
Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Opening balance=$600
Withdrawals=$15x5=$75
Paycheck=?

$600-$75+? = $750
? = 750-600+75 = $225

25% of $225 = $56.25

I hope that she is suppose to give $56.25 to charity?
