Question

Max went to a shopping mall with $35 in his wallet. He spent of the money he had in his wallet at the bookstore. How much money, in dollars, did he have left?

Answer 1

He had 21 dollars left.

Explanation:

The question is missing the fraction 2/5 after the word spent.

First, you find 2/5 of 35.

35/1 times 2/5 is equal to 7/1 times 2/1, which equals 14/1.

This means 2/5 of 35 dollars is 14 dollars.

Lastly, you subtract 14 from 35 to get 21.

21 dollars is the amount of money Max has left after spending 2/5 of all his money.
