Jed received his pocket money on Friday. He spent ⅗ of his pocket money on games. He spent 1/10 on Magazines. What fraction of his pocket money did he have left.
Not sure but I beleive he has 3/10 left.
correct
To find out what fraction of his pocket money Jed has left after spending on games and magazines, we need to first calculate the amount of money he spent on games and magazines.
Let's assume Jed received $x as his pocket money.
Jed spent ⅗ of his pocket money on games, which is (3/5)x.
Jed also spent 1/10 of his pocket money on magazines, which is (1/10)x.
To calculate the total amount Jed spent, we need to add the amounts he spent on games and magazines:
(3/5)x + (1/10)x
To simplify this, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 10, which is 10.
Multiplying (3/5)x by 2/2 to have a common denominator:
(6/10)x + (1/10)x
Now we can add:
(6/10)x + (1/10)x = (7/10)x
So, Jed spent (7/10)x of his pocket money.
To find the fraction of his pocket money that he has left, we need to subtract what he spent from the total pocket money:
Total pocket money - Amount spent = Amount left
If x is the total pocket money, then:
x - (7/10)x = (3/10)x
So, Jed has (3/10)x of his pocket money left.
In summary, the fraction of his pocket money that Jed has left after spending on games and magazines is (3/10).
