The fraction of her money that Clarissa has not yet spent can be found by subtracting the fractions of money she has already spent from one whole (or 100%).
She spent two fifths (2/5) on jeans and five tenths (5/10 or 1/2) on shoes.
To find the fraction of money she has not spent, we can subtract these fractions from one whole:
1 - 2/5 - 1/2
Finding a common denominator of 10:
10/10 - 4/10 - 5/10
Simplifying:
(10 - 4 - 5) / 10
1/10
Therefore, Clarissa has not yet spent 1/10 of her money.
