Hi friend!_________________
■ Total money with Rita: $300.
□ Now, she spent 1/3 rd on notebooks.
□ So we will subtract 1/3 part of $300.
> 300 x 1 / 3 = $100 spent.
■ Now 300 - 100 = $200 is left.
□ She spent 1/4 of the remainder on statonery items.
□ So, $200 x 1 / 4 = $50 spent.
Money left with her - $200 - $50 = $150
■ Ans. Rita is left with $150.
I hope this helps!
she spent on notebooks =1/3
300*1/3=100
300-100 =200
she spent on stationery items = 1/4
300*1/4=75
200-75
125
so she has $125 money
