Question

Bob won $800 at bingo last night.The first thing bob did was to take a cab to his mothers house.He gave the cab driver $20 and told him keep the change.Bob gave his mother 1/3 of his remaining winnings and walked down the street to his aunts house.He gave 25% of his money he had left.Lastly bob gave one sixth of what he had left to his best friend and kept the rest for himself.How much money did bob keep

Answer 1

800-20 is 780. A third of 780 is 780(1/3) = 260. 780 - 260 = 520. 25% of $520 is 0.25(520) = 130. 520 - 130 = 390. One sixth of 390 is 390(1/6) = 65. 390 - 65 = 325. So, Bob kept $325 for himself.

Answer 2

Out of the $800 that bob won in the bingo match, and after all the give away's that Bob did, he kept $65 to himself.
