Fred spent 1/3 of his pocket money on computer game and 1/4 of his pocket money on tickets for football match.how much packet had he left.idont how to do this help!!!
amount he had --- x
amount he spent = x/3 + x/4 = 7x/12
amount left = x - 7x/12 = 5x/12
To find out how much pocket money Fred had left, we need to subtract the amount he spent on the computer game and the amount he spent on the football match from his total pocket money.
1. Identify the fractions representing the amounts Fred spent:
- Fred spent 1/3 of his pocket money on a computer game.
- Fred spent 1/4 of his pocket money on tickets for a football match.
2. Add the fractions to find the total amount Fred spent:
- 1/3 + 1/4 = (4/12) + (3/12) = 7/12
3. Deduct the total amount Fred spent from 1 (representing the whole amount of pocket money) to find the amount he had left:
- 1 - 7/12 = (12/12) - (7/12) = 5/12
So, Fred had 5/12 of his pocket money left after spending on the computer game and tickets for the football match.
