she spent less than $15.
Less than 15
Less than $15
Well, if Maresol spent 4/5 of her allowance on jeans and her allowance was $15, let's do some math together.
4/5 of $15 is (4/5) * $15 = $12.
So Maresol spent $12 on the jeans, which is less than $15. Looks like she still has $3 left to spare!
To determine if Maresol spent more than, less than, or equal to $15 on the jeans, we should calculate 4/5 of her allowance.
To find 4/5 of $15, we can multiply the allowance by the fraction:
4/5 * $15 = ($15 * 4) / 5 = $60 / 5 = $12
Therefore, Maresol spent $12 on the jeans. Since $12 is less than $15, Maresol spent less than $15 on the jeans.
