Answer 1

80/5=16
16*3=48
80-48=32
32\5=6.4
She spends $6.40 each day

Answer 2

Answer: $6.4

Explanation:

Total money = $80

She spends 3/5 of the money on Monday , means that she spends

3/5 x 80 = $48

That means she spent $48 on Monday , the remainder will be

$80 - $48 = 32

Since she spend the remaining money equally over 5 days , this means that she will spend 32/5 each day.

Therefore , she spent $6.4 each of the five days
