Question

Dave received 120$ for his birthday from his parents and his friends. He went on a shopping spree and spent 2/5 of his money on a t-shirt and 1/6 on mountain bike magazines. How much money does he have left.

Answer 1

Answer: 52$

Explanation:

The money Dave spent on a t-shirt is obtained multiplying 120$ by the fraction 2/5

120(2/5) = 48$

And the money he spent on mountain bike magazines is obtained multiplying 120$ by the fraction 1/6

120(1/6)= 20$

The money he has left is:

120$ - 48$ -20$ = 52$
