Question

Jace gave $100 to her daughter Kailey and asked her to spend three parts and save two parts of the total amount. How much did Kailey spend and how much did she save?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

spending 3 parts and saving 2 parts means that there are 3+2 = 5 parts in the whole.

the whole being $100.

one of the 5 parts is then 100/5 = $20.

so, she spent 3×20 = $60 and saved 2×20 = $40.
