Question

Jeff had $20. He spent 1/8 of his money on lunch and 2/5 of his money at the movies. How much money does Jeff have left?

Answer 1

First, multiply 20 by the given fractions

20*1/8=2.5
20*2/5=8
Add the two together to get the total amount of money Jeff spent, 10.5, then subtract 10.5 from 20 to get the total amount he has left, 9.5

Answer 2

The amount of money that Jeff has left is  $9.50.

In order to determine the amount of money that Jeff has left, we have to determine the dollar value spent on lunch and movies.

• Amount spent on the movies = 2/5 x $20 = $8
• Amount spent on lunch = 1/8 x $20 = $2.50
• Total amount of money spent on lunch and movies = $8 + $2.50 = $10.50

Amount of money left = $20 - $10.50 = $9.50
