Question

Peter withdrew 1000 dollars from his bank account today. He uses 500 to fix his car. Then, he divided the money into 5 equal parts and gave away 4 parts and kept 1 part for himself. Finally, he took his wife to the restaurant and spent 60 dollars on meals. Write a numerical expression to represent this situation and then find how much money Peter has now?

Answer 1

ok he has $40 left

Explanation:

1000-500 = 500

500 - 400 = 100

100-60 = 40

Answer 2

Money with Peter = $ 40

Explanation:

Let 'x' be the money left with Peter

Money left with Peter after fixing his car = 1000 - 500 = 500

500 is divided into 5 equal parts and 4 parts he gave away. 500 - 400 = 100

x = (1000 - 500) - 400 - 60

= 500 - 400 - 60

= 100 - 60

x =$ 40
