At a supermarket, John spent 1/2 of his money on fruits and veggies, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/10 on bakery products. if he spent the remaining $6 on candy, how much did John spend?

Answer 1

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/10

convert to a common denominator

= 15/30 + 10/30 + 3/30

= (15+10+3)/30 =

= 28/30

$6 is 1-28/30 = 30/30 -28/30= (30-28)/30 =2/30 = 1/15 of the Total

6= (1/15)T

6 =T/15

multiply both sides by 15

Total = 6x15 = $90

he spent $45 on fruits & veggies

$30 on meat

$9 on on bakery products

45+30+9+6 =90
