$1250

First, calculate the amount of money spent on travel and lodging:
$5000 x 25% = $1250

Subtract $1250 from $5000 to find the remainder:
$5000 - $1250 = $3750

Next, calculate the amount of money spent on meals:
$3750 x 14% = $525

Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $3750 - $525 = $1250 left to spend on meals.
are you sure
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let me correct it:

First, calculate the amount of money spent on travel and lodging:
$5000 x 25% = $1250

Subtract $1250 from $5000 to find the remainder:
$5000 - $1250 = $3750

Next, calculate the amount of money spent on meals:
$3750 x 14% = $525

Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $3750 - $525 = $3225 left to spend on meals.

So, the correct answer is $3225.
but 2/5 is 40 percent where did you get 25 percent
Apologies for the mistake in my previous responses. Let's correct the calculation:

First, calculate the amount of money spent on travel and lodging:
$5000 x 2/5 = $2000

Subtract $2000 from $5000 to find the remainder:
$5000 - $2000 = $3000

Next, calculate the amount of money spent on meals:
$3000 x 1/7 = $428.57 (approximately)

Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $3000 - $428.57 = $2571.43 (approximately) left to spend on meals.

So, the corrected answer is around $2571.43. Thank you for pointing out the error.
Let me retype the question

Thank you for retyping the question. Let's solve this correctly:

First, calculate the amount of money spent on travel and lodging:
$5000 x 2/5 = $2000

Subtract $2000 from $5000 to find the remainder:
$5000 - $2000 = $3000

Next, calculate the amount of money spent on meals:
$3000 x 1/4 = $750

Therefore, Ginger and her friends will have $750 left to spend on meals.

The correct answer is $750. Thank you for your understanding.
