Molly's family has $3,000 set aside for an upcoming vacation. The family plans to spend
3/5 of this amount on gasoline for the drive and motel rooms along the way and
1/2 of the remainder on meals. How much does Molly's family plan to spend on meals?
A.
$600
B.
$900
C.
$1,200
D.
$1,500
First, find the amount Molly's family will spend on gas and motels: $3,000 * 3/5 = $<<3000*3/5=1800>>1800
Then subtract that amount from the total to find the remainder: $3,000 - $1,800 = $<<3000-1800=1200>>1200
Then divide that number by 2 to find the amount Molly's family will spend on meals: $1,200 / 2 = $<<1200/2=600>>600. Answer: \boxed{600}.
