I need the answer of what is his weekly allowance
To find out how many dollars James has left after spending 5/6 of his weekly allowance on a movie, we need to first determine the value of his entire weekly allowance.
Let's assume the amount James has left is "x" dollars.
Since James spent 5/6 of his allowance on the movie, what remains must equal 1/6 of his allowance:
x = (1/6) * (James's weekly allowance)
The cost of the movie ticket is given as $7.50. So:
(1/6) * (James's weekly allowance) = $7.50
To find James's weekly allowance, we algebraically manipulate the equation:
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6:
6 * (1/6) * (James's weekly allowance) = 6 * $7.50
This simplifies to:
James's weekly allowance = $45
So, James's weekly allowance is $45.
To determine how much money he has left after seeing the movie, we subtract the cost of the movie ticket ($7.50) from his weekly allowance:
James has left = James's weekly allowance - Cost of movie ticket
= $45 - $7.50
= $37.50
Therefore, James has $37.50 left after seeing the movie.
