Question

Dana is buying Grandparents' Day gifts at the mall. She spends $13.75 on a teacup for her grandmother. She spends 4/5 of that on a coffee mug for her grandfather. How much money does Dana spend in all?

Answer 1

The total money Dana spent in all is $24.75

Ratio and proportions

Ratio are written as fractions of two integers. For instance a/b.

Amount spent for grandmother = $13.75

Amount spent on grand father = 4/5 * 13.75

Amount spent on grand father = $11

Take the sum

Total money spent = $13.75 + $11

Total money spent = $24.75

Hence the total money Dana spent in all is $24.75
