Sean got $40 for his birthday. He spent 5/8 of the money on a new cell phone cover. How much money does he have left?
To find out how much money Sean has left, we need to calculate the amount of money he spent on the new cell phone cover.
First, we need to find the fraction of the money that Sean spent. We know that he spent 5/8 of the total amount.
To do this calculation, multiply the total amount of money ($40) by the fraction 5/8:
(5/8) * $40 = (5 * $40) / 8 = $200 / 8 = $25
So, Sean spent $25 on the new cell phone cover.
To find out how much money he has left, subtract the amount he spent from the total amount:
$40 - $25 = $15
Therefore, Sean has $15 left after buying the cell phone cover.
(3/8) * 40 = ?
