Question

27) Jim and his uncle went to the circus. Together they spent $30, 4/15 of that for a bus ride, 2/5 for food, 7/30 for tickets, and the rest on souvenirs. What part of their money did they spend on souvenirs?

Answer 1

3/30

Explanation:

4/15 so times 15 by 2 and 4 by 2 to get 8/30

leave 7/30 alone

2/5 five times 6 is 30, since you multiplied 5 by 6 you have to do 2 x 6 which is 12, 12/30

now you can add bc a common denominator 12 + 7 + 8 = 27

30 - 27 = 3, so 3/30ths was spent on souvenirs.

Answer 2

3 dollars

Explanation:

4/15 of 30 = $8
2/5 of 30 = $12
7/30 of 30 = $7

8 + 7 + 12 = $27

30 - 27 = $3

They only had 3 dollars left after spending everything else they had.
