Mrs. Wright's paycheck is $236.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction spent on food is 2/9

The fraction spend on rent is 1/3

Total fraction spent on food and rent is 2/9+1/3=5/9

Remaining fraction is 9/9-5/9=4/9

1/4 of the remainder is spent of transportation; this equals to: 1/4*4/9 =1/9

The fraction left is 9/9-1/9=8/9

Now 8/9 of x= $210

8/9 x= 210

8x=210*9

x=(210*9)/8

x=$236.25
