Question

Mary spent a third of her weekly allowance playing arcade games. she spent $4.32 on candy. if her allowance was $18, how much money does she have now?

Answer 1

18/3=6

18-6-4.32= 7.68

Mary has $7.68 left.

Answer 2

Mary has $7.68 now.

Explanation:

Mary spent a third of her weekly allowance playing arcade games.

Her allowance was $18, so a third of 18 is =
`(1)/(3)*18=6` dollars.

She also spent $4.32 on candies.

So, total amount she spent =
`6+4.32=10.32` dollars

Now, money left with Mary =
`18-10.32=7.68`

Therefore, Mary has $7.68 now.
