Question

Devi spent 2/3 of her monthly allowance on food and 5/6 of the remaining amount on stationery. She spent $35 more on food than on stationery. How much was
Devi's monthly allowance?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$90

Step-by-step explanation:

monthly allowance spent on food=2/3

remaining amount spent on stationary =5/6

dollars spent more on food than stationary =$35

allowance left=1-2/3=1/3

amount of allowance remaining=1/3 multiplied by 5/6=5/18

monthly allowance=(1/3+ 35) + 5/18 = 90
