Question

A club has money for a trip. The expenses for the trip are shown below:

• lunches: 1/4 of the money
• tickets: 2/5 of the money
• snacks: 0.12 of the money
• transportation: 20% of the money

What fraction of the money is left over?

Answer 1

3/100

Explanation:

convert these measurements into one unit, I am going to do decimals but you can sue fractions or percentages as well.

1/4 is 0.25

2/5 is 0.4

0.12 is 0.12

20% is 0.2

if you add all these up, it equals 0.97

1- 0.97= 0.03

you therefore have 0.03 of the money left over

this as a fraction is 3/100
