Question

A businessman spends 1/5 of his travel expense funds on a hotel room and 4/10 on airfare. What percentage of his travel expenses are left over?

Answer 1

Answer: 40%

Explanation:

1/5=20%, 4/10=40%. 20 + 40 = 60. [ 100% - 60% = 40%]

Answer 2

1/5= 20/100
4/10= 40/100
20+40= 60
100-60= 40
So he has 40% remaining
