Question

Lynn had $7500. She spent 16% of the money on food and 30% of the money on a drink . How much money did she have left

Answer 1

$4050

Explanation:

You want to know how much money Lynn had left after she spent 16% and 30% of her $7500 on food and drink, respectively.

Amount remaining

After spending a total of 16% +30% = 46% of her money, the amount remaining is 100% -46% = 54% of the original amount. That would be ...

0.54 · $7500 = $4050

Lynn had $4050 left.
