Question 1009859: Mr. O’Connor had $90 to spend at a football game. He spent (31/45) on his ticket. Then, he spent (3/7) of his remaining money at the concession stand.

+31%2F45+=+62%2F90+
+%28+62%2F90+%29%2A90+=+62+
So, he spent $62 on his ticket, leaving
+90+-+62+=+28+
$28
-----------------
+%283%2F7%29%2A28+=+12+
He spent $12, leaving
+28+-+12+=+16+
$16
-----------------
He was short $2 if he wanted
to buy the $18 hat
