Question

Levi's mom gave him $30 so he can go to the movies.He used 1/5 of the money to pay for his movie ticket.He spent 1/3 of what he had left on popcorn and candy.How much did he have left after buying the movie tickets and snacks?

Answer 1

If Levi has $30, and he spends 1/5 of it on his movie ticket, we can figure out how much 1/5 is by dividing 30 by 5.

30 divided by 5 = 6

Now Levi has $6. He than spends 1/3 of that on popcorn. We can divide 6 by 3.

6 divided by 3 = 2

Levi is left with $2.
