Question

Beth has 5400 in her savings account and withdraws 1/6 of it. The next day she withdraws 2/9 of what remains. How much is left in her account after these two transactions

Answer 1

1/6 of 5400 is 900 so 5400-900=4500
1/9 of 4500 is 500 so multiply it by 2 and you will get 1000
2/9 of 4500 is 1000,4500-1000=3500

So your answer is 3500
