Question

kumar had $480. he used 2/3 of it to buy an electri fan .he also bought a tea set for $60. how much money did he have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

$100

Explanation:

480 * 1/3 - 60 = []

The 1/3 comes from 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 for note, as that's how much of her money is left after the fan's purchased. (if you're unsure, you can multiply 480 and 2/3 together, and then subtract that amount from 480, and you'll see you end up with the same answer as below)

The order of operations means we deal with the 480 * 1/3 first.

480 * 1/3 → 480/3 = 160

Next is subtraction:

160 - 60 = 100

So Kumar has $100 left.
