Ginger and her friends saved $5000 for an upcoming vacation. They plan to spend 2/5 on travel and lodging and 1/4 of the remainder on meals.

Question

How much money will Ginger and her friends have to spend on meals?
A. $500
B. $750
C. $1250
D. $2000

Answer 1

First, we need to find out how much money Ginger and her friends will spend on travel and lodging.

2/5 of $5000 = (2/5) * $5000 = $2000

The remainder after spending on travel and lodging will be:

$5000 - $2000 = $3000

Now, they plan to spend 1/4 of the remainder on meals:

1/4 of $3000 = (1/4) * $3000 = $750

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

So, the correct answer is:

B. $750.
