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?

1 answer

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

Expenses = Cost of soap, sponges, and towels + payment to son
Expenses = $46 + $25
Expenses = $71

Net Income = Earnings - Expenses
Net Income = $284 - $71
Net Income = $213

Pablo's net income for this past weekend is $213.
