Harry spent one third of his money on a hat, 1/6 on socks, and $12.00 on a tie. How much money did Harry spend?
To determine how much money Harry spent, we need to add up the amounts he spent on the hat, socks, and tie.
First, let's determine the amount Harry spent on the hat. We are given that he spent one-third of his money on the hat. To find this fraction, we divide the total money he had by 3.
Next, let's calculate the amount spent on socks. We are told he spent 1/6 of his money on socks. To find this fraction, we divide the total money Harry had by 6.
Finally, we know that Harry spent $12.00 on a tie.
To get the total amount spent, we add up the amounts spent on the hat, socks, and tie.
Let's assume Harry had x dollars.
Amount spent on hat: x/3
Amount spent on socks: x/6
Amount spent on tie: $12.00
Total amount spent: (x/3) + (x/6) + $12.00.
To find the value of x, we need more information. If we have the value of x, we can accurately calculate the total amount Harry spent.
