Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 lost is 1/3 kept
2/3 of the 1/3 kept is 2/9 lost
1/3 x - 2/9 x = 4
3/9 x - 2/9 x = 4
1/9 x = 4
x = 36
First she lost 2/3 of 36, which is 24. She had 12 left. Then she lost 2/3 of 12 which is 8. She had 4 left.

He will pay $179.4.
40% of 299 = 119.6
299-199.6 = 179.4
To check your answer (or another way to do it is) take 60% of 299 = 179.4
Question..
Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
Answer:
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
Required
Equivalence
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
We start by collecting like terms.
⅚q - ⅙q + ½ - ⅓
Factorize
(⅚ - ⅙)q + ½ - ⅓
((5 - 1)/6)q + ½ - ⅓
(4/6)q + ½ - ⅓
Reduce 4/6 to lowest term
⅔q + ½ - ⅓
Evaluate fraction
⅔q + (3 - 2)/6
⅔q + ⅙
Hence, ½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙
You need to use a common denominator. The least common denominator of 11 and 22 is 22.
3/22 + -1/11 = 3/22 + -2/22 = 3/22 - 2/22 = 1/22
