year 6 Mathematics

Answer 1

$24

Explanation:

2/5 — dress

3/5 — remainder

1/2 of remainder = 1/2 × 3/5 = 3/10 — doll

rewrite fraction spent on dress: 4/10

dress - doll = $8

4/10 - 3/10 = 1/10

1/10 = $8

fraction of money left = 10/10 - 4/10 - 3/10

= 3/10

amount of money left = $8 × 3

$24
