Daisy Hill has saved $5,000 for her first semester of college. She plans to

spend 3/4 of this amount on her room in the dorm and 1/2 of the remaining on

food. How much does Daily plan to spend on food during the first

semester?

A. $3,750

B. $1,250

C. $625

D. $1,875

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: 3/4 of $5000 is $3750 (5000 x. 75). Half of $3750 is $1875

Amount Daisy plans to spend on food is $625

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given total savings of Daisy = $5000. Find the amount spent by Daisy on her room

Amount spent on room = 3/4 of 5000 = 3/4 * 5000 = $3750

Step 2: Calculate the remaining amount.

Remaining amount = $5000 - $3750 = $1250

Step 3: Calculate the amount Daisy plans to spend on food

Amount to be spend on food = 1/2 of 1250 = 1/2 * 1250 = $625
