Oscar and Alice have been given some money by their Grandad to spend during half term.
Together with their saved pocket money Oscar and Alice have some money in the ratio
Oscar : Alice = 1 : 4
Oscar has £7.35.
They pay £16.99 for a toy.
Oscar uses 1/3 of his money and Alice pays the rest.
How much money does Alice have left?
Answer:
Alice has 4 x Oscar = 4 x 7.35 = 29.40
1/3 of Oscar’s money = 7.35/3 = 2.45
So, Alice spends 16.99 less 2.45 = 14.54
Alice’s remaining money = 29.40 – 14.54 = £14.86
