I spent 3/4 of my money, then I spent 1/5 of what was left. How much money do I have left?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, let's assume that you initially had $100.

You spent 3/4 of this amount, which is (3/4) * $100 = $75.

Now, you are left with $100 - $75 = $25.

Next, you spend 1/5 of what was left, which is (1/5) * $25 = $5.

Therefore, you have $25 - $5 = $20 left.

Answer 2

No, I meant what part of my money do I have left?

Answer 3

Apologies for the misunderstanding. To find out what part of your money you have left, we can solve it using fractions.

Let's assume you had x amount of money initially.

You spent 3/4 of your money: (3/4)*x

So, the amount of money you have left is the remaining fraction: 1 - (3/4) = 1/4

Hence, you have 1/4 of your money left.

Answer 4

What is 1/4 divided by 1/5?

Answer 5

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

1/4 divided by 1/5 can be written as 1/4 * 5/1.

Multiplying the numerators (1 * 5) and the denominators (4 * 1), we get:

5/4.

Therefore, 1/4 divided by 1/5 is equal to 5/4.
