"mr sooklal had $4800.He spent 1/4 of his money at the grocery.he then spent 1/8 of it at the gas station and kept the rest.how much money did mr.sooklal have left?"

Answer 1

Answer is $3000 left

Step by step

If he spent 1/4 + 1/8 of his money, add them together and multiply by $4800 to find out how much he spent

1/4 + 1/8, we need common denominator so that is 8, to change 1/4 Multiply top and bottom by 2.

2/8 + 1/8 = 3/8

3/8 x 4800 = 1800 spent

Starting amount $4800 - money spent $1800
= $3000 left
