George had $120 to buy new baseball equipment. He spent a third his money on a glove, a fourth of his money on a bat, a sixth of his money on a cap and the remaining money on baseballs. How much money did he spend on each item?
oh and, I already know all the other items. But I only need help with the baseballs
It says the "remaining money on baseballs".
So, assuming your other 3 answers are correct, add up those 3 costs
and subtract that sum from $120
I hope sofar you got
glove = (1/3)(120) = 40
bat = (1/4)(120) = 30
cap = (1/6)(120) = 20
Thank you so much! And yeah!
To figure out how much George spent on each item, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the total amount George spent.
- George spent a third of his money on a glove.
- George spent a fourth of his money on a bat.
- George spent a sixth of his money on a cap.
- The remaining money was spent on baseballs.
Step 2: Calculate the amount spent on each item.
- Calculate one-third of the total money George had.
- Calculate one-fourth of the total money George had.
- Calculate one-sixth of the total money George had.
- Subtract the sum of the three calculated amounts from the total money George had to obtain the amount spent on baseballs.
Let's perform these calculations:
Step 1:
Total amount George spent = Amount spent on the glove + Amount spent on the bat + Amount spent on the cap + Amount spent on baseballs
Step 2:
Amount spent on the glove = (1/3) * $120
Amount spent on the bat = (1/4) * $120
Amount spent on the cap = (1/6) * $120
Amount spent on baseballs = Total amount George had - (Amount spent on the glove + Amount spent on the bat + Amount spent on the cap)
Let's calculate the amounts George spent:
Amount spent on the glove:
(1/3) * $120 = $40
Amount spent on the bat:
(1/4) * $120 = $30
Amount spent on the cap:
(1/6) * $120 = $20
Amount spent on baseballs:
Total amount George had - (Amount spent on the glove + Amount spent on the bat + Amount spent on the cap)
= $120 - ($40 + $30 + $20)
= $120 - $90
= $30
Therefore, George spent $40 on a glove, $30 on a bat, $20 on a cap, and $30 on baseballs.
