Question

Cora had 20 dollars to spend on 3 gifts she spent 11 1/4 dollars on the gift A and 3 4/5 dollars on gift B How much money did she have left for gift C

Answer 1

Cora had $4.95 left for gift C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money Cora had left for gift C, we need to calculate the total amount of money she had at the beginning and subtract the amounts she spent on gifts A and B.

First, let's calculate the total amount of money she had at the beginning: $20

Next, let's calculate the amount she spent on gift A: $11 rac{1}{4} = $11.25

Now, let's calculate the amount she spent on gift B: $3 rac{4}{5} = $3.80

To find out how much money she had left for gift C, we need to subtract the amount spent on gifts A and B from the total amount she had at the beginning: $20 - ($11.25 + $3.80) = $4.95

Therefore, Cora had $4.95 left for gift C.

Answer 2

Amount left for gift C =
`4(19)/(20)` dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount Cora have to spent on gifts = $20

Amount spent on gift A =
`11(1)/(4)=(45)/(4)` dollars

Amount spent on gift B =
`3(4)/(5)=(19)/(5)` dollars

Amount spent on gift C = x

Total amount = Gift A + Gift B + Gift C

20 =
`(45)/(4)+(19)/(5)+x`

20 =
`(225+76+20x)/(20)`

`400=301+20x\\400-301=20x\\99=20x\\20x=99\\`

Dividing both sides by 20

`(20x)/(20)=(99)/(20)\\\\x=4(19)/(20)`

Hence,

Amount left for gift C =
`4(19)/(20)` dollars
