Question

If Keira spends $45 on petrol, 1/ 9 of the money on other items and 1 /5 of the money on clothes. How much money does she spend on food?

Answer 1

The money Keira spent on food is $31.

Explanation:

Total money spent by Keira = $45

Things Keira spent money on:

1. Clothing

2. Food

3. Other items

Money spent on Clothing = 1/5 of total money

= 1/5 x $45

Money spent on Clothing = $9

Money spent on Other Items = 1/9 of total money

= 1/9 x $45

Money spent on Other Items = $5

Money spent of on Food = Money spent - (Money spent on clothing + other items)

Money spent on food = 45 - (9+5)

= 45 - 14

Money spent on food = $31
