Given :
Money earned by millie = £50
Amount spend on bus fares on Saturday = £2.75
Amount spend on lunch on Saturday = £4.25
So, remaining amount = £(50 - 2.75 - 4.25)
= £43
Now, let the amount allocated to the remaining six days of the week be x. Then,
6x = 43
x = 43/6
x = 7.16
Hence, she has £7.16 to spend on each day.
