Question

Jennifer had $30 to spend on herself. She spent 1/5 of the money on a sandwich, 1/6 for a ticket at the museum, and 1/2 of it on a book. How much money does Jennifer have left over? Show all your work.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1/2 is 30x.5=15 or 30/2 =15 or 50% of 30= $15

1/6 =30/6 = $5

1/5= 30/5 = $6

$15+$5+$6=$4

you could also convert into percentages to check your answer

Answer 2

$4

Explanation:

because 1/5 of 30 is 5

1/6 of 30 is 6

1/2 of 30 is 15

so you add 5+6+15

which equals 26

then you would subtract 30-26 to get how much is left over, which would be $4
