Question

Dori spent 1/5 of her money on a toy boat and scuba goggles. The toy boat cost 2 times as much as the goggles. The toy boat cost $8. How much money does Dori have left?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Dori has $48 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The boat costs twice as much as the goggles, divide 8 by 2 to find the price of the goggles. The price of the goggles is $4.

Add $8 and $4 to get $12. This is the total money Dori spent.

Since this is 1/5 of her money, multiply $12 by 5 to get $60. This is the money Dori had.

Subtract the $12 from the $60 to get $48. This is the money Dori has left.
