I earned $250 at my job. I used 1/10 at McDonald’s, 1/4 for shoes and 1/8 for clothing. How much money do I have left for savings?

1. First I add all the money that I used.

1/10 + 1/4 + 1/8 =  19/40

2. Now multiply 250/1 × 19/40 (total of money that I used)

250/1 × 19/40 = 118 3/4  or 475/4

3. Transform the fraction into a decimal by dividing the numerator and the denominator.

475/4 ~  475 ÷ 4 = 118.75

4. I used $118.75 of $250.

5. 250 – 118.75 = 131.25

6.I have $131.25 for savings.
