Lopez spent 1/3 of his vacation money for travel and 2/5 of his vacation money for lodging. He spent $1100 for travel and lodging. What is the total amount of money he spent on his vacation?
\n" ); document.write( "
 He spent \"matrix%281%2C5%2C+1%2F3+%2B+2%2F5%2C+or%2C+5%2F15+%2B+6%2F15%2C+or%2C+11%2F15%29%29\" of vacation money on travel and lodging. This fraction represents $1,100. With A being the total amount spent, 
\n" );
document.write( "we get the following proportion: \"%2811%2F15%29%2F1+=+%22%241%2C100%22%2FA\"
\n" );
document.write( "\"11A%2F15+=+%22%241%2C100%22\" ------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "11A = 15($1,100) ------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "A, or amount spent on vacation = \"matrix%281%2C1%2C+%2215%28%241%2C100%29%22%2F11%29\" = \"highlight_green%28%22%241%2C500%22%29\" \n" );
