Adamu spends 3/6 of his monthly allowance on food and1/4 on learning materials. If the amount he spends on food and materials is $330 less than his allowances,how much is his monthly allowances

1 answer

Let A be Adamu's monthly allowance.
Adamu spends 3/6 * A = 1/2 * A on food.
He spends 1/4 * A on learning materials.
He spends 1/2 * A + 1/4 * A = 3/4 * A on food and materials.
The total amount he spends is A - 3/4 * A = 1/4 * A.
330 = 1/4 * A
A = 330 * 4 = <<330*4=1320>>1320 dollars. Answer: \boxed{1320}.
