Question

Suzanne has $80 she spends 3/5 of the money on Monday she spends the remaining money equally over the next five days how much money does she spend on each of the five days

Answer 1

Total amount = $80

Amount spent on Monday = 3/5 x 80 = $48

Amount remaining = $80 - $48 = $32

The money is spent over 5 days:

5 days = $32

1 day = $32 ÷ 5 = $6.40

Answer: She spent $6.40 on each of the 5 days.

Answer 2

$80 \times ( \frac{5}{5} - \frac{3}{5} ) \\ = 80 \times \frac{2}{5} \\ = 32$

$32 \div 5 = 6.4$

Answer : She spends $6.40 on each of the five days.

Hope this helps. - M
