Question

Bonnie withdrew $1,200 from her savings account. She spent 1/5 of the money on travel arrangements. She spent 2/3of the remaining amount at the hardware store. Finally, she treated her friend to lunch with some of the remaining money. After lunch, Bonnie had $300.50 left. How much money did Bonnie spend on lunch?

Answer 1

1,200×1/5=240
1,200-240=960
the remaining 960-300.50=659.50

Answer 2

1200-240= 960
960- 640 = 320
320-300.5 = She spent $19.5 on lunch
