Question

While preparing to visit the United States, Greg exchanged 200 Canadian dollars for 1/5 fewer U.S dollars. After spending ¾ of the U.S dollars, how many did he have left?

Answer 1

After exchanging his Canadian dollar to U.S dollar, Greg only has 4/5 of 200 which is equal to 160 U.S dollars. He had spent 3/4 of the U.S dollars he has, which means that he had spent 3/4 of 160 or equal to 120 U.S dollars. He is then left with only 40 U.S. dollars.
