Question

katie has £1200. she gives 1/3 of the money to her sister. Then katie give 1/4 of the remaining money to her brother. how much money does katie have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

£600

Step-by-step explanation:

Katie gives 1/3 of the money to her sister.

1/3 of 1200 is 400, because 1200 divided by 3 is 400. So she gives 400 to her sister, which means she has 1200-400= 800 left.
When she gives 1/4 of the remaining to her brother, that means that we need to figure out how much 1/4 of 800 is. 800 divided by 4 is 200. So Katie gives 200 to her brother.

800 that she has remaining minus the 200 she gives to her brother leaves her with 800-200 = 600
