Haley had $56 dollars. She spent 5/8 of her money on a new shirt. How much money did she have left after buying the shirt?.


(Can u go step by step on how u got the answer plz)

Respuesta :

If she spent 5/8 of the money, she must have 3/8 left. 3/8 of $56 is $21.
Alternatively:
If she spent 5/8 of $56, she spent 5/8 * $56 = $35. The amount remaining is then $56 - $35 = $21.
