Question

Sergio y Camila, decidieron juntar sus ahorros para comprar una cámara de video que cuesta $5 400.00. Si Sergio puso un medio del costo y Camila un tercio de éste, ¿cuánto dinero les falta y qué fracción representa?

Answer 1

• Amount remaining = $900
• As fraction = 1/6

Explanation:

Sergio brought a half of the $5,400 which is:

= 5,400 * 1/2

= $2,700

Camila brought a third of the cash which is:

= 5,400 * 1/3

= $1,800

The total amount remaining is:

= 5,400 - 2,700 - 1,800

= $900

As a fraction of the total this is:

= 900 / 5,400

= 1 / 6
