Question

Maria bought an SUV for 21,000 dollars. Nancy bought a sedan for 2/3 as much. How much less did Nancy spend on her sedan?

Answer 1

7000

Explanation:

21,000*(2/3)=14000

21,000-14,000=7000

Answer 2

7,000 dollars

Explanation:

21,000 divided by 3 is 7,000 = 1/3

So 2/3 = 7,000 x 2 = 14,000

To find how much less Nancy spent on her sedan you do 21,000 - 14,000 = 7,000
