Question:
Rita had Rs 300 . She spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on notebooks and $\frac{1}{4}$ of the remainder on stationery items. How much money is left with her?
Solution:
Amount of money spent on notebooks $=300 \times \frac{1}{3}$
$=\frac{300}{1} \times \frac{1}{3}$
$=\frac{300}{3}$
$=100$
$\therefore$ Money left after spending on notebooks $=300-100$
= 200
Amount of money spent on stationery items from the remainder $=200 \times \frac{1}{4}$
$=\frac{200}{1} \times \frac{1}{4}$
$=\frac{200}{4}$
$=50$
$\therefore$ Amount of money left with Rita $=200-50$
= Rs 150
