First, let's calculate the amount of money Ginger and her friends plan to spend on travel and lodging.
2/5 of $5000 = (2/5) * $5000 = $2000
Now, let's calculate the remainder of the money after spending $2000 on travel and lodging.
$5000 - $2000 = $3000
Next, let's calculate how much Ginger and her friends plan to spend on meals.
1/4 of $3000 = (1/4) * $3000 = $750
Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $750 to spend on meals during their vacation.
2/5 of $5000 = (2/5) * $5000 = $2000
Now, let's calculate the remainder of the money after spending $2000 on travel and lodging.
$5000 - $2000 = $3000
Next, let's calculate how much Ginger and her friends plan to spend on meals.
1/4 of $3000 = (1/4) * $3000 = $750
Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $750 to spend on meals during their vacation.
