Math Problem Statement

If you receive a paycheck for $13,454 in the month of June and spend $18,750 in outgoing bills, which integer represents how much you still owe for bills?

Solution

The problem asks you to determine how much you still owe for bills if you received a paycheck of $13,454 but spent $18,750 on bills.

Here’s the calculation:

  1. You received $13,454.
  2. You spent $18,750.

To find out how much more you owe, subtract the paycheck from the amount spent:

Amount owed=18,75013,454=5,296\text{Amount owed} = 18,750 - 13,454 = 5,296

So, the correct integer representing how much you still owe is $5,296.
