Respuesta :
1/3 of 72 is 24 subtract 24 from 72 and get 48 and 1/4 of 48 is 12 so you subtract 12 from 48 and get 36 there for you have 36 dollars left over
It is given in the Question that, Anna earned $ 72.
And out of $ 72, she gave 1/3 to her mother.
And 1/3 rd of 72 = $24.
So she gave $24 to her mother. Therefore remaining amount is
[tex] 72-24=$48 [/tex]
And out of 48, she spent 1/4 on going out. And 1/4 of 48 is
[tex] \frac{1}{4} *48 = $12 [/tex]
So remaining amount is
[tex] 48-12=$36 [/tex]
We have to find 36 is what fraction of 72, and it is
[tex] \frac{36}{72} = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
