Answer 8

for money spend-
2/3*60 =40
7/10 *35=24.5
and 5/6 *45= 37.5
sum all these answer and get the answer for first one.
For second part, add 60+35+45
and third part subtract second question answer from first and divide it with second question answer

Answer 9

Okay you spent $102, saved 38$

Answer 10

and the fraction of the origina price is 102/140

Answer 11

51/70 is the fraction simplified

Answer 12

okay so you spent 102$, saved 38$ and the fraction of all of it was 51/70

Answer 13

^^^

Answer 14

Much better, thank you! @imsleeziboii

Answer 15

No problem

Answer 16

Can you explain how you got it all please? @imsleeziboii

Answer 17

sure

Answer 18

@imsleeziboii ^^

Answer 19

okay so \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] of 60$ is 40 dollars.
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 10 }\] of 35 is 24.5 which in dollars is 24.50$
\[\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\] of 45 is 37.5 which is 37.50$
Add all these up to get the amount spent, which is 102$
Add up all the original amounts which is 60,35,45=140
\[\frac{ 102 }{ 140 }\] simplifed is \[\frac{ 51 }{ 70 }\] because you divide each by 2 and its simplified completely

Answer 20

and to get how much you save you subtract how much you spent (102) from the original price of all of them (140)

Answer 21

okay so you spent 102$, saved 38$ and the fraction of all of it was 51/70

Answer 22

Thank you! @imsleeziboii

Answer 23

No problem
