Pablo runs a small car washing business in his neighborhood on the weekends. This
past weekend, Pablo earned $284. Prior to opening his car wash, he needed to stock
up on soap, sponges, and towels which cost him $46. He also had his son help him
with the car washing and paid him $25 for his help. What was Pablo's net income for
this past weekend?
To calculate Pablo's net income, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.
Expenses = Cost of soap, sponges, and towels + payment to son
Expenses = $46 + $25
Expenses = $71
Net Income = Earnings - Expenses
Net Income = $284 - $71
Net Income = $213
Pablo's net income for this past weekend is $213.
To calculate Pablo's net income for the past weekend, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.
1. Start with Pablo's earnings: $284
2. Subtract the cost of the supplies: $284 - $46 = $238
3. Subtract the payment to his son: $238 - $25 = $213
Therefore, Pablo's net income for this past weekend was $213.
To calculate Pablo's net income, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.
First, we start with the amount Pablo earned, which is $284.
Next, we subtract the expenses from this amount. His expenses include the cost of stocking up on soap, sponges, and towels, which is $46, and the payment he made to his son for helping him, which is $25.
So, the equation for calculating Pablo's net income is as follows:
Net Income = Earnings - Expenses
Net Income = $284 - ($46 + $25)
Net Income = $284 - $71
Net Income = $213
Therefore, Pablo's net income for this past weekend was $213.
