His allowance is $20
He saves 20(.53)
He spends 20(.26)
He uses $2

20 - 20(.53) - 20(.26) - 2 = Money left

Answer:

Carson has $2.2 left each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets an allowance of 20.

He spends:

$2 to pay library fines.

26% on food. 0.26*20 = 5.2. He spends $5.20 on food.

53% is saved. 0.53*20 = 10.6. He saves $10.6.

He is left with:

20 - (2 + 5.2 + 10.6) = $2.2

Carson has $2.2 left each month.
