Question

Haley had 80 dollars. Spent 3/5 of it at the mall. Later, she went to the movies and spent 1/8. How much money does she have now?

Answer 1

$28.00

Explanation:

3/5 of 80= 48 80-48=32

1/8 of 32= 4

32-4=28

Answer 2

$28

Explanation:

Haley had $80 .

She spent 3/5 of $80 at the mall.

Therefore

3/5 x 80

Multiply through

240/5 = 48

$48

$80 - $48 = $32

Also, she went to the movies and spent 1/8

So ,

1/8 x 32

32/8

$4

Therefore,

$32 - $4

= $28

She had $28 left
