Jeff has $20. He spent 1/8 of his money on lunch and 2/5 of his money at the movies. How much money does Jeff have left?

A. $5.50
B. $7.00
C. $8.25
D. $9.50

D. $9.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, Jeff spends 21/40 of his money. (1/8+2/5=21/40)

He has 19/40 left.

19/40*20=380/40=9.5

First, let's put 2/5 and 1/8 into similar fractions, in that they have the same denominator.

2/5 = 16/40

1/8 = 5/40

Then, we'll add the fractions together.

16/40 + 5/40 = 21/40

So, Jeff spent 21/40 of his money. We can set up a proportion to find the amount that Jeff spent.

x/20 = 21/40

420 = 40x

x = 10.50

Finally, we'll subtract the amount that Jeff spent from the original amount.

20 - 10.50 = 9.50

Jeff has D. $9.50 left.

Hope this helps!! :)
