Question

Brittany went grocery shopping , she spent 4/7 of her money on fresh foods. she spent 2/3 of the remainder of her money on frozen foods. if she spent 22$ on frozen foods. how much money did she spend on fresh foods?

Answer 1

Answer:

$44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total amount of money be represented by Y

Amount spent on fresh food =

$\frac{4}{7} \times y$

Remainder =

$y - \frac{4}{7}y = \frac{3}{7} y$

Amount spent on frozen foods = two-thirds of remainder = $22

$= \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{7} y = \frac{2}{7} y$

$\frac{2}{7} y = 22 \\ y = 22 \times \frac{7}{2} \\ y = 77$

The total amount for grocery shopping is $77

Therefore, Brittany spent $44 on fresh foods

$= \frac{4}{7} \times 77 \\ = 4 \times 11 \\ = 44$

Answer 2

$44 because if $22 is 2/3 than 1/3 is $11 this means that 7/7 is $77 so this means that 4/7 is $44
