Let's say Andy starts with 1 whole unit of money.
- He spends 2/5 on food, which leaves him with 3/5.
- He then spends 1/3 of 3/5 on clothes, which is (1/3) x (3/5) = 1/5.
- This means he has saved the remaining 4/5 of his money.
Therefore, Andy saves 4/5 of his pocket money.
Andy spends 2/5 of his pocket money on food. He spends 1/3 of what is left on clothes. He saves the rest.
