Question

Alex spends 5 out of every 6 dollars he earns on comic books. He uses the rest of the money to buy art supplies. Last month, Alex spent 50 dollars on comic books. How many fewer dollars did he spend on art supplies?

Answer 1

Ratio = 5:6

Total = 60 as 50 * 6/5 = 50
Art supplies = 60 - 50 = 10
