Question

I need help with two questions, and an explanation on how to do them please

5.Lori owes her mother $39. Lori pays back 1/3 of this debt and then pays back 1/4 of the remaining debt. How much does Lori still owe

Answer 1

$39 multiply that by 1/3  OR  39 divide that by 3 . That will get 13 .

39 multiply that by 1/3 OR 39 divide that by 4 . You will get 9.75

Add 13 and 9.75  

13+9.75=22.75

Now you subtract 39 - 22.75

You will get 16.25
