Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 is 30x.5=15 or 30/2 =15 or 50% of 30= $15

1/6 =30/6 = $5

1/5= 30/5 = $6

$15+$5+$6=$4

you could also convert into percentages to check your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

because 1/5 of 30 is 5

1/6 of 30 is 6

1/2 of 30 is 15

so you add 5+6+15

which equals 26

then you would subtract 30-26 to get how much is left over, which would be $4
