Karen spents 450 dollars on monthly bills. Of this total amount, 12% is for phone service,1/10 is for Internet service, and 2/9 is for utilities. If the rest of the total amount is for food, how much does Karen have for food?

I said $130 since I subtract all

(0.12 + 0.1 + 0.2222)450 = 198.9

400 - 199 = $201

My answer was only $2.00 off. That can be accounted for by the fact that I used a decimal for the fraction. Using the fraction -- here's the answer.

(0.12 + 0.1)450 = 99

(2/9) * 450 = 900/9 = 100

100 + 99 = 199
