Question

Alice has $560 in the bank. She uses 1/4 of it to buy a coat and 2/3 of the remaining money to buy a present for her mother. How much money does Alice have left?

Answer 1

Answer: $140

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 × 560 to buy a coat

= 0 25 x 560 = $140

Remaining balance after purchase of coat will be $560 - $140 = $420

Next, he uses 2/3 of $420 for present

2/3 × 420

0.667 x 420

= $280 for present

Alice's balance will be remaining balance after purchase of coat - money for present

= $420 - $280

=$140
