Question

Raju spent 8/25 of his pocket money on books and 12/25 of his money on uniform. what fraction of the packet money did he spend together
​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rohit's pocket money be x.

First he spent 2/5 of his pocket money so he has $x-\frac{2x}{5}$ left with him.

Second he spends 1/6 on a newspaper assuming that this is a fraction of the original pocket money he has $x-\frac{2x}{5}-\frac{x}{6}$ left with him.

Finally he spends 2/15 on recreation so he has a total of $x-\frac{2x}{5} -\frac{x}{6} -\frac{2x}{15}$ left with him.

Simplyfying we get $\frac{3x}{10}$ thus we can say the fraction is 3/10
