Question

Sami spent 1/8 of his allowance on food and 2/3 of the remainder on his best friend kyrie. He decided to then save the rest of his allowance. If he saved $175.00, how much is Sami's allowance?

Answer 1

Answer:

total allowance=$600.00

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total allowance be  x

sami spent 1/8*x  on food

remainder=total-spent

               x-1/8x=7/8x remainder

spent on friend kyrie=2/3of remainder

        =2/3 *7/8x=14/24x

saved=total-(money spent on food +spent on friend kyrie)

$175.00=x-(1/8x   +   14/24 x)

$175=x-17/24x

$175=7/24x

x=(24*175)/7

x=600
