after being paid at work, Tom use 1/4 of his money to buy sneakers, 3/8 of his money to fix his car and the rest to pay his rent. If he paid $600 in rent, how much money did he get paid at work?

Answer 1

1/4 is the same as 2/8, plus 3/8 makes 5/8.
This means that the $600 for rent 3/8.

So he got $1600 paid at work
