Question

Jesse got $100.00 for his birthday.He spent 1/5 of it on himself and 1/4 on gifts for others.How much did he have left?

Answer 1

so 1/5 of 100 is 1/5 times 100=20

then he spend 1/4 on gifts
1/4 times 100=25
100-20-25=amount left=55

he has $55 left

Answer 2

1/5 of his money is

`100* (1)/(5) = (100)/(5) =20`

1/4 of his money is

`100* (1)/(4) = (100)/(4) =25`

25+20=45

100-45=55

Jesse has $55 left
