Sheela had $400. She used 40 percent of her money to buy a dress and 1/5 of the remainder to buy a pair of shoes. She then donated $60 to charity.
(A) How much money did Sheela spend on the pair of shoes?
(B) How much money did Sheela have left?
(A) To find out how much Sheela spent on the pair of shoes, we need to find out how much of her money remained after she bought the dress.
She used 40 percent of her money on the dress, so she had 100% - 40% = 60% of her money left.
So, 60% of her money is equal to 60/100 x $400 = $<<60/100*400=240>>240.
Then, she used 1/5 of the remainder to buy a pair of shoes.
So, 1/5 x $240 = $<<1/5*240=48>>48.
Therefore, Sheela spent $48 on the pair of shoes.
(B) To find out how much money Sheela had left, we need to subtract the amount she spent on the dress and the shoes, and the amount she donated to charity from her total money.
Total amount spent on the dress and the shoes is $400 + $48 = $<<400+48=448>>448.
So, Sheela had $400 - $448 - $60 = $400 - $508 = $-108 left.
Therefore, Sheela had -$108 left.
