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?

Question

A. $284
B. $213
C. $259
D. $238

Answer 1

Pablo's expenses for the car wash were $46 for supplies and $25 for paying his son, which totals $46 + $25 = $<<46+25=71>>71.
Pablo's net income is his total earnings minus his expenses, so it is $284 - $71 = $<<284-71=213>>213.
The correct answer is B. $213.
