Question

Brian spends
3
5
of his wages on rent and
1
3
on food. If he makes £735 per week, how much money does he have left?


i would like a step by step explanation on how to do it so i can understand.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent on rent=3/5

Amount spent on food= 1/3

Total amount spent= 3/5+1/3

make same denominator

LCM=15

9/15+5/15=14/15

14/15 of x = £735

x= 735x15/14

x=735-686

x=£49

Maybe someone else's answer might be correct. maybe mine is wrong
