Answer 1

Answer:

Bonnie spent $19.5 on lunch

Answer 2

Answer: 19.50

Step-by-step explanation: She had 12,000. Spent 1/5 so

12000*1/5=240

She spent $240 on travel arrangements. She spent 2/3 of the remaining amount. Note remaining amount.

To find remaining amount: 12000-240=960

Spent 2/3 of remaining amount: 960*2/3=640

$640 is the amount she spent at the hardware store. We have to subtract that with what she has left.

960-640=320

Next she treated her friend to lunch and had $300.50 left. After the trip to hardware store, she had $320.

So, 320-200.50.

She spent $19.50 on lunch.
