Isaac should budget approximately $240 per fortnight to cover his bills.

Solución

To determine the amount Isaac should budget per fortnight for his bills, let’s break down each expense and convert them to a per-year basis before calculating the fortnightly amount.
  1. Electricity:
    • $560 per quarter
    • There are 4 quarters in a year.
    • Annual Cost:
  2. Internet:
    • $80 per month
    • There are 12 months in a year.
    • Annual Cost:
  3. Council Rates:
    • $1,260 per year
  4. Water:
    • $430 per quarter
    • There are 4 quarters in a year.
    • Annual Cost:
Total Annual Expenses:
Calculating Fortnightly Budget:
  • There are 26 fortnights in a year.
Rounding this to the nearest dollar gives $238 per fortnight. The closest option provided is $240.

To determine the amount Isaac should budget per fortnight, we first need to calculate the total annual cost of his bills.
  1. Electricity: per quarter = per year
  2. Internet: per month = per year
  3. Council Rates: per year
  4. Water: per quarter = per year
Now, add these amounts together:
Next, divide the total annual cost by the number of fortnights in a year (there are 26 fortnights in a year):
Thus, the closest amount that Isaac should budget per fortnight is (A) $190.
Isaac can round up his budget slightly to cover any fluctuations and avoid budget mishaps, which is a smart move!
