Question

Bridget has 240$ she spent 3/5 of her money and saved the rest how much more money did she spend then save?

Answer 1

2/5=240
1/5=120
3/5=360
5/5=600

She spent $360 of the $600, so she spent $120 more then she saved

Answer 2

Bridget spent $48 more than she saved. You have to first, divide 240 by 5. Then, multiply the product by 3 and you get how much she spent. Once you get how much she spend, subtract it from 240 and you get how much she saved. Lastly, you will subtract the amount she saved from the amount she spent and you will get 48.

240/5=48
48X3=144
240-144=96
144-96=48
