Question

On Tuesday, he spends 2/3 of what is left.
On Wednesday, he spends 1/4 of what remains.
What fraction of the pocket money does he have left? Choose the most
reasonable answer

Answer 1

The fraction of the pocket money she left is 1/8.

Explanation:

Let the total pocket money is p.

Spent on Monday = p/2

Amount left = p - p/2 = p/2

Spent on Tuesday = 2/3 of p/2 = p/3

Amount left = p/2 - p/3 = p/6

Spent on Wednesday = 1/4 of p/6 = p/24

Amount left = p/6 - p/24 = p/8

So, the fraction of the pocket money she left is 1/8.
