Question

On one day a rickshaw puller earned 80.out of his earning he spent 68÷5 on tea and snacks,51÷2 on food and 22÷5 on repair of the rickshaw.How much did he save on that?

Answer 1

Answer: $56.50
==================================
(instead of dividing each of them individually and them subtracting them one by one, combine them together as a fraction first and then subtract)

80 - (68/5 + 51/2 + 22/5)
= 80 - (136/10 + 255/10 + 44/10)
= 80 - (435/10)
= 80 - 43.5
= 56.5

He saved $56.50 on that
