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.
