Question

A boy spends 7/24 of his pocket money on Monday, 1/4 of his pocket money on Tuesday and 1/3 on Wednesday. What fraction of his pocket money is left on Tuesday?

Answer 1

let the total money be 1

then money spent on monday = 7/24
remaining money
=1-7/24
=17/24

money spent on Tuesday = 1/4
remaining money
= 17/24 - 1/4
=(17-6)/24
=11/24

Answer 2

let his total pocket money be 1.

now money spend on Monday =7/24.

remaining money =1-7/24.
=24-7/24=17/24.

money spend on tuesday =1/4.
money remain =17/24-1/4=
17-6/24.=11/24
