Question

Mary spends 1/3 of her allowance on clothes 1/6 on music downloads gives $3 to charity and divide and divides the rest evenly among her three sisters if Mary gets $30 a week for allowance how much money in dollars does one of her sisters receive

Answer 1

1/3 of 30 is 10 and 1/6 of 30 is 5. so she spends $10 on clothes and $5 on music in total 15. 30-15= 15. She has $15 left. 15÷3=5. so she gives her each sister $5.
