Question

Nathan received $1,500 dollars for his birthday. He saves 3/5 of his money. 6/20 of his money was used to buy a new game. How much money does he have left?

Answer 1

$150

Explanation:

→ Find 3/5 of 1500

( 1500 ÷ 5 ) × 3 = 900

→ Find 6/20 of 1500

( 1500 ÷ 20 ) × 6 = 450

→ Find the sum of the 2 numbers

900 + 450 = 1350

→ Minus it from the original 1500

1500 - 1350 = $150
