if you spend 4/7 of your money and have $15 left how much did you spend
about $8.57
(multiply 4/7 and 15)
15 divided by 7=? your answer times 4 is 4/7 of 15
i don't have a calculator rn so i and put the actual answer
so you would have 3/7 of your money left
(3/7)x = 15
3x= 105
x = 35
so you spent 4/7 of that which $20
check:
you started with $35
spent 4/7 of that which is $20, leaving you with $15, as stated
To find out how much you spent, we can set up the following equation using the given information:
Amount spent = (4/7) * Total money
Since we know that you have $15 left, we can deduce that the amount spent must be the difference between the total money and $15. Let's substitute this into the equation:
(4/7) * Total money = Total money - $15
To solve for Total money, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * Total money = 7 * Total money - 7 * $15
Now, combine the terms:
4 * Total money - 7 * Total money = - 7 * $15
Simplifying further:
-3 * Total money = -7 * $15
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for Total money:
Total money = (-7 * $15) / -3
Calculating further:
Total money = $35
Since we know the total money, we can calculate the amount spent by multiplying it by the fraction:
Amount spent = (4/7) * $35
Calculating further:
Amount spent = $20
Therefore, you spent $20 of your money.
