Robert spent 3/5 of his money on stereo equipment and 1/6 of the money he had left on lunch. He left the house with $24. How much did robert return with?
24*(3/5) = 14.4 dollars (for stereo equipment)
24-14.4 = 9.6 dollars (money left)
9.6*(1/6) = 1.6 dollars (for lunch)
24-(14.4+1.6) = 8 dollars
so there,, :)
To find out how much Robert returned with, we need to calculate how much money he had remaining after spending on stereo equipment and lunch, and then subtract that amount from the $24 he left the house with.
1. Start with the amount Robert left the house with: $24.
2. Robert spent 3/5 of his money on stereo equipment. To calculate the amount spent on stereo equipment, we multiply $24 by 3/5:
$24 * 3/5 = $14.40.
3. Now, we need to determine how much money he had left after purchasing stereo equipment.
$24 - $14.40 = $9.60.
4. Next, Robert spent 1/6 of the money he had left on lunch. To calculate the amount spent on lunch, we multiply $9.60 by 1/6:
$9.60 * 1/6 = $1.60.
5. Finally, to find out how much Robert returned with, we subtract the amount spent on lunch from the money he had left:
$9.60 - $1.60 = $8.
Therefore, Robert returned home with $8.
To find out how much Robert returned with, we first need to know how much money he had originally.
Let's assume that the amount of money Robert had initially is represented by "x."
According to the given information:
- Robert spent 3/5 of his money on stereo equipment, which means he had (1 - 3/5) = 2/5 of his money left.
- He then spent 1/6 of the money he had left on lunch, which means he had (1 - 1/6) = 5/6 of the 2/5 of his money left.
We're also given that the amount of money Robert had left after his expenses is $24. So we can set up the following equation:
(5/6) * (2/5) * x = $24
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's simplify the equation step by step:
(5/6) * (2/5) * x = $24
(2/6) * x = $24
(1/3) * x = $24
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
(1/3) * x * 3 = $24 * 3
x = $72
Therefore, Robert originally had $72.
Now, we can calculate how much Robert returned with. If he left the house with $72, and we are given that he returned with $24, we can simply subtract:
Robert's return amount = $72 - $24
Robert returned with $48.
