To calculate the amount John used to buy trading cards, you need to find 1/4 of the total money:
1. Divide the total amount earned by John ($45.90) by 4:
$45.90 / 4 = $11.475
So, John used $11.475 to buy trading cards.
To find the remaining amount after buying the trading cards, you need to subtract the amount spent on trading cards from the total amount:
2. Subtract the amount used to buy trading cards ($11.475) from the total amount earned ($45.90):
$45.90 - $11.475 = $34.425
So, the remaining amount is $34.425.
To calculate the amount John used to buy a sketchbook, you need to find 2/3 of the remaining amount:
3. Multiply the remaining amount ($34.425) by 2/3:
$34.425 × 2/3 = $22.95
So, John used $22.95 to buy a sketchbook.
To find the final amount John has after buying the sketchbook, you need to subtract the amount spent on the sketchbook:
4. Subtract the amount spent on the sketchbook ($22.95) from the remaining amount ($34.425):
$34.425 - $22.95 = $11.475
So, the final amount John has after buying the sketchbook is $11.475.
Lastly, to calculate the total amount spent on comic books, simply subtract the remaining amount from the final amount:
5. Subtract the final amount ($11.475) from the remaining amount ($34.425):
$34.425 - $11.475 = $22.95
Therefore, John spent $22.95 on comic books.
