Name of problem:Holiday Pay

Describe the problem:we had to find out ¾ of 60 And ⅓ of what was left. Then he brought two pies each costing $2 each. Then we had to find out what fraction of pocket money did he not spend.

These are the strategies and knowledge I used to solve the problem. (add more bullet points for each step)  first i find ¾ 60. Then I ended up with  45 then i subtracted 45 from 60 i was left with 15. Then i had to find out ⅛ of that and that was 10. Then  i add 50 to the 10 and that equals 60 . And then you add up then i add up 45 and 5 and 4.  That equals 54 then i subtract 60 from that then i am left with 6 so  then i take the 60 and then the 6 and make a faction like this. 6/60  the end.
