The correct answer is She have left $7.5 after buying the coat and skirt.
Step-by-step explanation
This question is incomplete, the complete question is:
Mary had $60 and spent 0.75 o 3/4 of it on a coat. She then bought a skirt with 50% of the money that she had left. How much money did she have left after buying the coat and skirt?
The answer is $7.50
Explanation:
To know how much money Mary has left after buying the coat we have to multiply $60 by 0.75 as this would help us know the price of the coat.
60 x 0.75 = 45 (price of the coat)
Then we have to subtract 45 from 60 to know how much money she have left after buying the coat.
60 -45 = 15 (Money left)
Then she bought a skirt with 50% of the money that she had left. To know how much money costs the skirt we have to multiply 15 by 0.50. The result of this operation is $7.5, and finally, we have to subtract again $7.5 that she spent on her skirt from $15 and the final result is $7.5
