Question

Rita had $300 she spent 1/3 on notebooks and 1/4 on stationary items how much does she have left over

Answer 1

Total money = $ 300

Fraction spent on notebooks =

$\frac{1}{3} \times 300 \\ = 100$

Amount spent on notebooks = 100

Amount left = 300 – 100

= 200

Fraction spent on stationary =

$\frac{1}{4} \times 200 \\ = 50$

Amount spent on stationary = Rs 50

$notebook \: + stationary \: = 150$

Money left = 300 – 150

= 150
