Question

Brian spends 3 5 of his wages on rent and 1 3 on food. If he makes £735 per week, how much money does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer :

Brian has $49 left.

Step by step explanation :

Step 1 : Find how much money Brian spends on rent and food.

First question we should be asking is what is 3/5 of 735?

Let's find that.

$\frac{3}{5}$ * $\frac{735}{1}$

= $\frac{(3)(735)}{(5)(1)}$

= $\frac{2205}{5}$

= 441

We know Brian spends $441 on rent. Now we find how much he spends on food.

$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{735}{1}$

= $\frac{(1)(735)}{(3)(1)}$

= $\frac{735}{3}$

= 245

Brian spends $245 on food.

Step 2 : Add what he spends on rent and food together.

$441 + $245 = $686

Step 3 : To find out how much money Brian has left, we subtract $686 from $735.

$735 - $686 = $49

Conclusion : Brian has $49 left.
