To determine how much Leonard can spend on a new video game, we first need to know the total amount of his paycheck and calculate how much he has left after paying his cell phone bill and putting some money into savings.
Let's assume Leonard's paycheck is \( P \).
- He used \( x \) of his paycheck to pay his cell phone bill.
- He put \( y \) of his paycheck into savings.
The amount left for Leonard after these deductions would be:
\[
\text{Amount Left} = P - x - y
\]
Without knowing the exact fraction of the paycheck that Leonard used for the bill and savings, we cannot determine the exact amount left. However, if we know the fractions, we can follow this strategy:
1. Calculate \( x \) (cell phone bill) and \( y \) (savings) based on given fractions.
2. Subtract these amounts from \( P \).
3. Compare the remaining amount with the options to see which amounts he can spend.
If you can provide the specific fractions (or percentages) of the paycheck used for the cell phone bill and savings, we could calculate how much remains and then evaluate the choices \( A \) $24, \( B \) $34, \( C \) $28, and \( D \) $20 to see which amounts Leonard could afford.
