Solution

Step 1: Calculate the total amount paid for the three months. Since the average monthly bill is 350,thetotalforthreemonthswouldbe3503=350, the total for three months would be 350 * 3 = 1050.

Step 2: Calculate the amount spent in February. Since 40% of the total amount was spent in February, this would be 40/100 * 1050 = $420.

Step 3: Subtract the amount spent in February from the total amount to find the total spent in January and March. This would be 1050 - 420 = $630.

Step 4: Calculate the average monthly bill for January and March. Since the total for the two months is 630,theaveragewouldbe630/2=630, the average would be 630 / 2 = 315.
