Mya has a $300

Question

a month budgeted for her food expense. She spent
4/5
of her budget so far.

Answer 1

To determine how much Mya has spent so far, you can calculate $\frac{4}{5}$ of her monthly budget of $300.

Here's the calculation:

$$\text{Amount spent}=\frac{4}{5}\times 300$$

First, multiply 300 by 4:

$$4\times 300=1200$$

Now, divide 1200 by 5:

$$\frac{1200}{5}=240$$

So, Mya has spent $240 of her food budget so far.

To find out how much she has left, subtract her spent amount from her total budget:

$$\text{Amount left}=300-240=60$$

Mya has $60 left in her food budget for the month.
