Question

Harriet has £600.

She spends 1/4 of this money on shoes and 2/5 of the money on presents.
What fraction of the £600 has she left?

Answer 1

7/20 is the fraction she has left.

1/4 + 2/5= 13/20 she has spent so she has 7/20 left.
You can also check this by adding the 150 + 240 = 390 she has spent and 210 she left to spend. 210/600 = 7/20

Answer 2

£210

Explanation:

1/4 of 600= 150

2/5 of 600= 240

240 + 150= 390

600 - 390 = 210

She has £210 left
