Answer 2

Concept Introduction:-

It could take the shape of a word or a number representation of the quantity's arithmetic value.

Given Information:-

We have been given that sarika spent $2/5$ of her money on buying a skirt. She then spent $4/9$ of her remaining money on a belt.

To Find:-

We have to find that fraction of her money was left

Solution:-

According to the problem

Let the total money sarika had with her at the start $=\mathrm{a}$

First she spent $2/5$ of her money on skirt:

Money spent by sarika on skirt $=\frac{2}{5} a$

So,

Money left with sarika $=$ Total money she had $-$ Money spent by her on skirt

Money left with sarika

$=a-\frac{2 a}{5}\\=\frac{5 a-2 a}{5}\\=\frac{3a}{5}$

Now, she then spent $4/9$ of her remaining money on a belt:

Money spent by sarika on belt $=\frac{3 a}{5} \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{12 a}{45}$

So,

Money left with sarika$=$Total money she had after buying skirt$-$Money spent by her on belt

Money left with sarika

$=\frac{3 a}{5}-\frac{12 a}{45}\\=\frac{27 a-12 a}{45}\\=\frac{15 a}{45}\\=\frac{a}{3}$

$=\frac{a}{3}$

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is money left with sarika is  $\frac{1}{3}$.
