Answer key — Finding the Figures in a Budget

Set 10. Prints on its own sheet.

1.1. $1,200 + $300 + $80 = $1,580. 2. $600 + $150 + $120 = $870. 3. $1,200 − $600 = $600.
2.1. $35 + $15 + $20 = $70; $450 − $70 = $380. 2. Because the plan gives half of the profit, so the costs must be taken out first. 3. $35 + $15 + $20 = $70.
