Step 1:
To calculate John's net weekly income, we need to subtract his expenses from his earnings and then add the bonus:
Earnings: £300 per week
Expenses: £325 per week (negative value since it is spending more than earning)
Bonus: £210
Step 2:
To find the net weekly income, we perform the following calculation:
Net weekly income = Earnings - Expenses + Bonus
So £300 - £325 = -25
= -25 + £210
= £185
Therefore, John's net weekly income is £185.
