Answer:

Ken is left with $2.79.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Ken allowance = $20

Money spent on movies =

$\displaystyle(1)/(5)* 20 = \$4$

Money spent n snacks =

$\displaystyle(3)/(8)* 20 = \$7.5$

Money spent on games =

$\displaystyle(2)/(7)* 20 = \$5.71$

Total money spent =

$4 + 7.5 + 5.71 = \$17.21$

Money left =

$=\text{Allowance}-\text{ Total money spent}\\= 20 - 17.21\\=\$2.79$

Ken is left with $2.79.
