Ginger and her friends have saved $5000 for an upcoming vacation. They plan to spend 2/5

Question

on travel and lodging and 1/4
of the remainder on meals. How much money will Ginger and her friends have to spend on meals?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate how much money Ginger and her friends plan to spend on travel and lodging:

$5000 * 2/5 = $2000

Now let's calculate how much money will be left after spending on travel and lodging:

$5000 - $2000 = $3000

Now let's calculate how much will be spent on meals:

$3000 * 1/4 = $750

Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $750 to spend on meals.
