Bridget spent $48 more than she saved. You have to first, divide 240 by 5. Then, multiply the product by 3 and you get how much she spent. Once you get how much she spend, subtract it from 240 and you get how much she saved. Lastly, you will subtract the amount she saved from the amount she spent and you will get 48.

240/5=48
48X3=144
240-144=96
144-96=48
