Mwantum had money and she used 1/3 of her money for travel and 0.75 of the remaining money for food find the percentage of the remaining money
To find the percentage of the remaining money, we need to determine how much money is left after Mwantum spent 1/3 on travel and 0.75 of the remaining money on food.
Let's say Mwantum had $x.
She spent 1/3 of her money on travel, which is (1/3)*x = x/3.
The remaining money is x - (x/3) = (2/3)*x.
Mwantum then spent 0.75 of the remaining money on food, which is (0.75)*((2/3)*x) = (3/4)*((2/3)*x) = (3/4)*(2/3)*x = (1/2)*x.
The remaining money after spending on food is (2/3)*x - (1/2)*x = (4/6)*x - (3/6)*x = x/6.
To find the percentage of the remaining money, we divide the remaining money by the original amount of money and multiply by 100:
(x/6) / x * 100 = (1/6) * 100 = 16.67%
Therefore, the percentage of the remaining money is approximately 16.67%.
