Question

Joanne earns $720 a week. She spends 1/3 of her money on groceries and household goods and 3/4 of the remaining money on rent. How much money does she spend on rent, groceries and household goods?

Answer 1

$600 because 1/3 of $720 is $240, remaining money is $480 3/4 of it is $360 which leaves her with $120. $720 - $120 = $600

Answer 2

1/3 of 720 is 240

3/4 of 480 which is the leftover money is 360

So she spent 360+240 which is $600
