Read the problem carefully and calculate the remaining budget.

Cevap:A base civil engineering squadron has an annual budget of \$

60,000

for facility maintenance. During the first quarter, they spend

30\%

of the total budget. During the second quarter, an unexpected repair requires them to spend

25\%

of the *remaining* budget. The amount of money left in the budget for the rest of the year is \$【31500】.

The remaining budget is $31,500.

To find the final remaining amount, calculate the expenses sequentially. First, find

30\%

of the initial

\$60,000

, which is

\$18,000

. Subtracting this leaves

\$42,000

. Next, find

25\%

of the remaining

\$42,000

, which is

\$10,500

. Subtracting this from

\$42,000

leaves a final balance of

\$31,500

Calculate the amount spent in the first quarter.

30\%

\$60,000 = 0.30 \times 60,000 = \$18,000

The squadron spends 30% of their initial total budget.

Calculate the budget remaining after the first quarter.

\$60,000 - \$18,000 = \$42,000

Subtract the first quarter expenses from the total budget to find the new balance.

Calculate the amount spent in the second quarter.

25\%

\$42,000 = 0.25 \times 42,000 = \$10,500

The second quarter expenses are based on the remaining budget, not the original total.

Calculate the final remaining amount.

\$42,000 - \$10,500 = \$31,500

Subtract the second quarter expenses from the balance to find the final remaining funds.
