Mommy's family has $3,000 set aside for upcoming vacation. The family's plans to spend 3/5 of this amount on gasoline for the drive and motel rooms along the way and 1/2 of the remainder on meals. How much does Molly's family plan to spend on meals

Answer 1

First, we need to find the amount of money Molly's family plans to spend on gasoline and motel rooms. To do this, we multiply the total amount of money set aside by 3/5: $3000 * 3/5 = $<<3000*3/5=1800>>1800
Next, we need to find the remainder after the family spends money on gasoline and motel rooms. We do this by subtracting the amount spent on gasoline and motel rooms from the total amount set aside: $3000 - $1800 = $<<3000-1800=1200>>1200
Finally, we need to find the amount the family plans to spend on meals, which is 1/2 of the remainder. To do this, we multiply the remainder by 1/2: $1200 * 1/2 = $<<1200*1/2=600>>600. Answer: \boxed{600}.
