I had $15 in my wallet. I spent 1/3 of the money on Wednesday and 1/5 of the remainder on Saturday. How much money did I have left?
Another wrong reply!!!!
Start with $15, spent 1/3 of it, which is 5, so left with $10
Spent 1/2 of that on Saturday, or spent $5
which would leave you with $5
To calculate how much money you have left after spending a portion of it on Wednesday and Saturday, we can break down the problem step by step.
1. Start with the total amount of money you had initially, which was $15.
2. Calculate the amount you spent on Wednesday, which is 1/3 of the total amount. To find this, multiply $15 by 1/3:
$15 * (1/3) = $5
So, you spent $5 on Wednesday.
3. Subtract the amount you spent on Wednesday from the initial amount to find the remainder:
$15 - $5 = $10
After spending $5 on Wednesday, you have $10 remaining.
4. Determine the amount spent on Saturday, which is 1/5 of the remainder. Multiply $10 by 1/5:
$10 * (1/5) = $2
Therefore, you spent $2 on Saturday.
5. Subtract the amount spent on Saturday from the remaining amount:
$10 - $2 = $8
After spending $2 on Saturday, you have $8 left.
So, you have $8 remaining after spending money on Wednesday and Saturday.
You have $8.00 left.
first, 15 ÷ 3 = 5
5 + 5 = 10
1/5 of 10 is 2
10 ÷ 5 = 2
1/5 is 8
You have $8.00 left.
