Question

Allen had $840. He spent 5/12 of the money on some clothes. 4/5 of the money spent on clothes was used to purchase 4 dresses of the same price. How much did each dress cost?

Answer 1

Allen spent 5/12 x $840 = $350 on clothes.
4/5 x $350 = $280 was spent on purchasing 4 dresses.
So, each dress cost $280/4 = $70.
