Sneaky Shopping Spree
Emma went shopping with £50. She spent half of her money on a dress. Then, she bought a pair of shoes for £12. After that, she spent one-third of her remaining money on a handbag.
How much money does she have left?
A box of biscuits
A box of biscuits contains 36 biscuits. 20 biscuits have foil wrappers. 15 are chocolate biscuits with foil wrappers. If 9 are not chocolate and do not have a foil wrapper, then how many chocolate biscuits are there?
Emma starts with £50.
ReplyDeleteShe spends half on a dress:
½ × 50 = 25
Money left: 50 - 25 = £25
She buys shoes for £12:
25 - 12 = £13
She spends one-third of the remaining money on a handbag:
⅓ × 13 = 4.33
Money left: 13 - 4.33 = £8.67
So, Emma has £8.67 left.
