EmilyHerron:

320

snowflake0531:

How'd you get that

snowflake0531:

1,200 originally, 1/5 spent, which means she has 4/5 left so, multiply 1200 with 0.8

EmilyHerron:

by subtracting

snowflake0531:

i-

snowflake0531:

i wrote multiplying

EmilyHerron:

960

snowflake0531:

yes~ 960 dollars Then 2/3 was spent so, 1/3 left Now, divide 3 from 960

EmilyHerron:

320

snowflake0531:

Okay, and 320 - x = 300.5 x = ....? I suggest subtracting 300.5 from 320

EmilyHerron:

19.5

snowflake0531:
