Question

Mary spent three fourths of her allowance at the mall. One half of that was spent on snacks. If Mary’s allowance was thirty dollars, how much did she spend on snacks?

Answer 1

$11.25

Explanation:

Divide 30 by 4

30/4=7.50

multiply by 3

7.5*3=22.50

22.50 is 3/4 of her allowance

divide that by half to get how much she spent on snacks.

22.50/2=11.25

Hope this helps!
