Question

Kira got a pocket money of $300. She spent 1/3 of her money on story books and 1/4 of the remainder on
stationery items. How much money she still got with her?

Answer 1

Therefore the money she still got with her is $ 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pocket money of Kira = $300

Money spent on story books = 1/3 × $300 = $100

Now,

Amount left with Kira spending on story books = $300–$100= $200

Again,

Money spent on stationary items = 1/4 × $200 = $ 50

Total money spent on story books and stationary items = $100 + $50=$150

Amount of money left = $300 – $150 = $150

Answer 2

Therefore the money she still got with her is $ 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pocket money of Kira = $300

Money spent on story books = 1/3 × $300 = $100

Now,

Amount left with Kira spending on story books = $300–$100= $200

Again,

Money spent on stationary items = 1/4 × $200 = $ 50

Total money spent on story books and stationary items = $100 + $50=$150

Amount of money left = $300 – $150 = $150
