Ginger and her friends have saved $5000 for an upcoming vacation. They plan to spend 2/5
on travel and lodging and 1/4
of the remainder on meals. How much money will Ginger and her friends have to spend on meals?
First, let's calculate how much money Ginger and her friends plan to spend on travel and lodging:
$5000 * 2/5 = $2000
Now let's calculate how much money will be left after spending on travel and lodging:
$5000 - $2000 = $3000
Now let's calculate how much will be spent on meals:
$3000 * 1/4 = $750
Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $750 to spend on meals.
