2/5 * 100 = 200/5 = $40.00 spent
Thank you!! :D
How about how much she saved?
How much did she save?
100 - 40 = ?
To find out how much Sally saved, we need to calculate 3/5 of the total amount of money she had.
1. Start with the total amount of money Sally had, which is ten $10 bills. The total amount is 10 * $10 = $100.
2. To find 3/5 of $100, we multiply $100 by 3/5. This can be done by multiplying the numerator (3) by the total amount ($100) and then dividing the result by the denominator (5).
(3/5) * $100 = (3 * $100) / 5 = $300 / 5 = $60
Therefore, Sally saved $60.
To find out how much Sally spent, we will calculate 2/5 of the total amount of money she had.
1. Start with the total amount of money Sally had, which is again $100.
2. To find 2/5 of $100, we multiply $100 by 2/5. As we did before, we multiply the numerator (2) by the total amount ($100) and then divide the result by the denominator (5).
(2/5) * $100 = (2 * $100) / 5 = $200 / 5 = $40
Therefore, Sally spent $40.
In summary:
- Sally saved $60.
- Sally spent $40.
