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?

Responses:

$284

$213

$259

$238

To calculate Pablo's net income, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings.

  1. Total earnings: $284
  2. Total expenses: $46 (supplies) + $25 (payment to his son) = $71

Now, subtract the total expenses from total earnings:

Net income = Total earnings - Total expenses
Net income = $284 - $71 = $213

So, Pablo's net income for this past weekend was $213.
