Juanita spent 3/4 of her allowance at the mall. Of the money spent at the mall, 1/2 was spent on new earphones. What part of her allowance did Juanita spend on earphones?


Sagot :

[tex] \frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8} [/tex] of her allowance

Let

x--------> Juanita's allowance

we know that

1) Juanita spent [tex]3/4[/tex] of her allowance at the mall

so

Juanita spent at the mall --------> [tex]\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]

2) Of the money spent at the mall, [tex]1/2[/tex] was spent on new earphones

so

Juanita spent on new earphones ------->[tex]\frac{3}{4}x*(1/2)=\frac{3}{8}x[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

Juanita spend on earphones [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of her allowance
