4285.68 divided into 2 accounts...
If 1/3 was put into his savings account, that means 2/3 was put into his checking account.
2/3 * 4258.68 = 8517.36/3 = 2839.12 (this is in his checking account)

check..
1/3 of 4258.68 (savings account) = 4258.68 * 1/3 = 4258.68/3 = 1419.56
2/3 of 4258.68 (checking account) = 4258.68 * 2/3 = 4258.68/3 = 2839.12

1419.56 + 2839.12 = 4258.68 (correct)

Roberto’s monthly pay is $4349.70. Each month he uses 2/5  of his pay for his household expenses and 1/10   for his car payment. He deposits the rest into his savings account. 
 
How much does Roberto deposit into his savings account each month

texaschic101 · Answer

4349.70 (monthly pay)
2/5 * 4349.70 = 8699.40/5 = 1739.88 (household expenses)
1/10 * 4349.70 = 4349.70/10 = 434.97 (car payment)

4349.70 - (1739.88 + 434.97) = amount deposited into savings account
4349.70 - (2174.85) = savings account
2174.85 = amount in savings account
