Question

Samuel and Jason spend 3/4 of their combined earnings from Wednesday to buy a gift. How much did they spend? Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25? Explain

Wednesday Samuel's cans (pounds)are 12.6

Wednesday Jason's cans (pounds) are 7.1

I think you would need to add 12.6 and 7.1 which equals 19.6 but then I am stuck from here.

Please help?

Answer 1

So they would have total earnings of $7.84

Then take $7.84 x 0.75=$5.88
but then the question asks Is there enough left over from Wednesday's earnings to buy a card that costs $3.25

So they spent $5.88 from a total of $7.84 is that correct?

Answer 2

The answer is no because they have 1.30 left and that's not enough to buy the card they need 1.29 more to 1.28 to ho

Answer 3

Multiply by $0.40 to find the amount of money they have.

Then multiply the product by 3/4
