Debra spent 2/5 of her pocket money on a necklace. To find out how much money she spent, we can calculate:
2/5 * £15 = £6
Therefore, Debra spent £6 on the necklace.
To find out how much money she has left, we subtract the amount she spent from her initial pocket money:
£15 - £6 = £9
Debra has £9 left.
To determine how much money Debra had left after spending a portion of her pocket money, we need to subtract the amount she spent from the total amount she received.
Debra spent 2/5 of her pocket money on a necklace. To find out how much this is in terms of pounds (£), we need to calculate 2/5 of £15.
To do this, we can multiply £15 by the fraction 2/5:
(2/5) x £15 = £(2/5) x 15
To simplify the calculation, we can first multiply the numerator (2) with the amount (£15) and then divide the result by the denominator (5):
(2 x £15) / 5 = £30 / 5 = £6
Therefore, Debra spent £6 on a necklace.
To find out how much money she had left, we need to subtract the amount she spent (£6) from the original amount she received (£15):
£15 - £6 = £9
Therefore, Debra had £9 left after spending on magazines and a necklace.
