Answer:

7/20 is left

Explanation:

2/8 (reduced is 1/4) for food

1/5 for prizes

2/10 (reduced is 1/5) for decorations

? for what's left

Add all the fractions up by finding a common denominator.

1/4 + 1/5 + 1/5

5/20 + 4/20 +4/20 = 13/20

He spent 13/20 of his money on this stuff. What part of that is left?

1 - 13/20 (AKA 20/20 - 13/20)

= 7/20
