Solution

Let's break down the information given in the note to solve the problem:

  1. Mrs. Rivera earns ₱16,290.00 per month.
  2. She allocates:
    • ₱4,560.00 for monthly house rent and miscellaneous expenses.
    • ₱3,200.00 for education.
  3. We need to find out how much is left for food and how much is allocated for food per week.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Total expenses (excluding food): 4,560+3,200=7,7604,560 + 3,200 = 7,760
  2. Amount left for food: 16,2907,760=8,53016,290 - 7,760 = 8,530
  3. Weekly food allocation: There are 4 weeks in a month, so: 8,5304=2,132.50\frac{8,530}{4} = 2,132.50
