Francis donated 1/10 of his money to a charity. He spent 1/3 of the remaining money on shopping where he bought a watch, 2 similar shirts and a belt. The cost of each shirt is 1/3 the cost of the watch and the watch cost $40 more than the belt. He had $564 left.
(a) How much money did Francis spend on shopping?
(b) What was the cost of the belt?
Francis donated 1/10 of his money
He will left 9/10 of his money as a remained
1/3 of remaining = 1/3 * 9/10 = 3/10 of his total money
after shopping, he would left 1 - 3/10 - 1/0 = 6/10 of his total money
6/10x = $564
= $940
940 * 3/10 = $282
$282 + 40 = $322
322 / 7 = $46
46 * 3 = $138
$138 - $40 = $98
