Question

wrangler has 300 dollars to spend on school supplies. He spent 1/10 on notebooks. How much does he have left?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Method 1:

$300 on school supplies

1/10 on notebooks

As you're finding how much is left:

10/10-1/10=9/10

Convert 9/10 into a decimal

9/10=0.9

300*0.9=$270

OR

Method 2:

1/10=0.1

300*0.1=$30

Take away 30 from $300

$300-30=$270

By using either method, You would still have $270 left.

How this helps!!!

Have a nice day :)
