Answer 1

Answer:

The remaining amount in the person's wallet is $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a person left the house to go shopping with $240.00 in his wallet, and he spent 2/3 of this amount in the supermarket, then spent 1/4 of what was left in the pharmacy. At a stop at the butcher shop, he left 1/2 than he had left.

And we have to find the remaining money in the wallet after making all these above expenses.

At the starting, the amount of money in the person's wallet = $240

Amount of money spent in the supermarket = $\frac{2}{3} \text{ of } \ 240$

                                                                     =  $\frac{2}{3} \times 240$

                                                                     =  $2 \times 80$ = $160

So, now the amount of money left with him = $240 - $160

                                                                    = $80

Amount of money spent in the pharmacy = $\frac{1}{4} \text{ of } \ 80$

                                                                 =  $\frac{1}{4} \times 80$ = $20

So, now the amount of money left with him = $80 - $20

                                                                    = $60

Now, Amount of money spent at the butcher shop = $\frac{1}{2} \text{ of } \ 60$

                                                                               =  $\frac{1}{2} \times 60$ = $30

So, now the amount of money left with him = $60 - $30

                                                                    = $30

Hence, the amount of money remaining in the person's wallet is $30.
