Karen spent 1/4 of her money on 2 fish burgers and 6 chicken wings for a party. The cost of each fish burger was three times the cost of each chicken wing. She bought some more fish burgers with 2/3 of her remaining money. How many fish burgers did she buy altogether?
fish burger => fb chicken wing => cw
2 fb = 6 cw 2 fb + 6 cw = $1/4 2 fb = 1/8
Remaining money = 3/4
3/4(2/3) = 1/2
So, she bought 8 more fish burgers with 2/3 of her remaining money.
Cost of fish burger is 3 times cost of chicken wing
She spent 1/4 of her money on 6 wings
and 2 f.b.
Total = 12
1/4 of her money = 12
4/4 of her money = 48
Remainder of her money = 48 - 12
= 36
She spent 2/3 of remainder on fish burger.
2/3 of remainder = 2/3 * 36
= 24
She spent 24 on rush burgers.
Since f.b. Costs 6 each,
24 ÷ 6 = 4 fish burgers
