Charity = 5% = £15
Saves = 4/5 = 40% = £120
120 - 15 = 105
120 - 15 - 105 = 165
Clothes = £165
charity: 5% = 15
saves: 2/5 = 40% = 120
remainder: 175 = 55%

To calculate how much money Callum uses to buy clothes, we need to follow a step-by-step approach:
1. Find out how much money Callum gives to charity: 5% of £300.
5% is equal to 5/100 or 0.05 as a decimal.
Multiply £300 by 0.05 to find out how much Callum donates to charity.
£300 * 0.05 = £15
So, Callum donates £15 to charity.
2. Calculate how much money Callum saves: 2/5 of £300.
2/5 can be expressed as 2 divided by 5 or 2/5, which is equal to 0.4 as a decimal.
Multiply £300 by 0.4 to determine how much Callum saves.
£300 * 0.4 = £120
Therefore, Callum saves £120.
3. Determine how much money is remaining after Callum donates to charity and saves for himself: £300 - £15 - £120.
Subtract the amounts Callum gave to charity (£15) and saved for himself (£120) from the initial amount he won (£300).
£300 - £15 - £120 = £165
Thus, Callum has £165 remaining to buy clothes.
Therefore, Callum uses £165 of the money to buy clothes.
