Question

Simran is given Rs 75 to go to school every day. On a Particular day, she
spent 1/3 of her money to buy a burger ,1/5 on water and 2/5 on ice cream. Calculate the amount spent on ice cream and total amount spent?

Answer 1

total amount spent=55rupees

And

amount spent on ice cream =15rupees

Answer 2

Amount she spent on ice cream = 2/5 of Rs 75

$= \frac{2}{5} \times 75 \\ = 2 \times 15 \\ = 30$

Amount spent on ice cream is Rs 30

Total amount spent =

$( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{5} ) \times 75 \\ = \frac{(1 \times 5) + (1 \times 3) + (2 \times 3)}{15} \times 75 \\ = \frac{14}{15} \times 75 \\ = 14 \times 5 \\ = 70$

Therefore, total amount spent is Rs 70
