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.
-
Electricity:
- $560 per quarter
- There are 4 quarters in a year.
- Annual Cost:
-
Internet:
- $80 per month
- There are 12 months in a year.
- Annual Cost:
-
Council Rates:
- $1,260 per year
-
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.
- Electricity:
per quarter = per year - Internet:
per month = per year - Council Rates:
per year - 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!
