Question

Valentina va de compras al mall con $50.000. Gasta 3/5 de esa cantidad en un buzo y la mitad del resto en una falda.¿cuanto dinero le queda a valentina?

Answer 1

The amount left with Valentina is $10,000.

Explanation:

The question is:

Valentina goes shopping at the mall with $50,000. She spends 3/5 of that amount on a diver and half the rest on a skirt. How much money does Valentina have left?

The original amount Valentina had was, P = $50,000.

Compute the amount spent on a diver as follows:

D =
`(3)/(5)th` of $50,000

`=(3)/(5)* 50000\\=30000`

The amount spent on a diver was, D = $30,000.

Amount left:

A = P - D

= 50000 - 30000

= 20000

Compute the amount spent on a skirt as follows:

S =
`(1)/(2)` of $20,000

`=(1)/(2)* 20000\\=10000`

Amount left:

A₁ = A - S

= 20000 - 10000

= 10000

Thus, the amount left with Valentina is $10,000.
