Question

Jennifer had $80 to spend on herself. She spent 1/5 of the money on a sandwhich, 1/6 for a ticket to a museum, and 1/2 of it on a book. How much money does Jennifer have left over?

Answer 1

$10.67

Explanation:

Jennifer has a total amount of $80 to buy what she needs

1/5 of the money is spent on sandwich

= 1/5×80

= $16

The amount spent on sandwich is $16

1/6 of the money is spent on tickets to a museum

= 1/6×80

= 0.166×80

= $13.33

The amount spent on tickets is $13.33

1/2 of the money is spent on a book

= 1/2×80

= 0.5×80

= $40

The amount spent on a book is $40

Therefore, to calculate the amount left on her we add the total money spent and subtract it from the original amount of money that she has to spend

= $80-$16+$13.33+$40

= $80-$69.33

= $10.67

Hence the amount of money left on Jennifer is $10.67
