The fixed whole-dollar amount of money she takes from her account every month is _$191_ , and she’ll have _$8_ left over.

Given, Mary has $2300.

She has decided that she will withdraw a fixed whole-dollar amount of money every month of the year. since one year has 12 month so she has to withdraw equal amount of money 12 times from her account.

Now, whole dollar amount she withdraw from her bank account is the quotient we get after after dividing $2300 by 12.

On dividing $2300 by 12 we get $191 as whole some amount and $8 as remainder amount.

So, she has to withdraw $191 dollar from her account every month and she will have $8 left over.

Given : Mary has $2300

Given : Mary decides to withdraw a fixed amount of money every month of the Year.

I'm Solving this Question by Verification of the Given Options

Let us Assume, She Withdraws a fixed amount of $190 every Month

⇒ The Amount she has withdrawn in a year = (190 × 12) = $2280

⇒ The Amount left over will be : (2300 - 2280) = $20

But, we can see that there is no $20 among the 2nd Blank Options. So, This Fixed amount of money cannot be the Answer.

Let us Assume, She Withdraws a fixed amount of $181 every Month

⇒ The Amount she has withdrawn in a year = (181 × 12) = $2172

⇒ The Amount left over will be : (2300 - 2172) = $128

But, we can see that there is no $128 among the 2nd Blank Options. So, This Fixed amount of money cannot be the Answer.

Let us Assume, She Withdraws a fixed amount of $180 every Month

⇒ The Amount she has withdrawn in a year = (180 × 12) = $2160

⇒ The Amount left over will be : (2300 - 2160) = $140

But, we can see that there is no $140 among the 2nd Blank Options. So, This Fixed amount of money cannot be the Answer.

Let us Assume, She Withdraws a fixed amount of $191 every Month

⇒ The Amount she has withdrawn in a year = (191 × 12) = $2292

⇒ The Amount left over will be : (2300 - 2292) = $8

We can see that there is a $8 among the 2nd Blank Options. So, This Fixed amount of money is the Answer.

The Fixed whole-dollar amount of money she takes from her account every month is $191 and she'll have 8 left over.

First Blank : $191

Second Blank : $8

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
