Question

Mya has a $300
a month budgeted for her food expense. She spent
4/5
of her budget so far.

Answer 1

To determine how much Mya has spent so far, you can calculate \( \frac{4}{5} \) of her monthly budget of $300.

Here's the calculation:

\[
\text{Amount spent} = \frac{4}{5} \times 300
\]

First, multiply 300 by 4:

\[
4 \times 300 = 1200
\]

Now, divide 1200 by 5:

\[
\frac{1200}{5} = 240
\]

So, Mya has spent **$240** of her food budget so far.

To find out how much she has left, subtract her spent amount from her total budget:

\[
\text{Amount left} = 300 - 240 = 60
\]

Mya has **$60** left in her food budget for the month.
