Each episode of a show requires 3.5% of the total capacity her video recorder. Her recorder currently has 62% of its total memory free. If Monica records all five episodes this week, how much space will be left on her video recorder?

Let the total memory space = x
Free memory space = 62% of x =.62x

Space required for each episod =3.5% of x=0.35x

Space required for 5 episodes =5*.035x=.175x

Space left =.62x-.175x=.445x
Space left in her vedio recorder =44.5%of Total capacity
