Sara took 2%2F3 of her allowance to the concert she spent 3%2F4 of it. What fraction of her total allowance did she spend?
Let x be the total allowance
She took %282%2F3%29x+ spent %283%2F4%29 of it
%283%2F4%29%282%2F3%29x+=+%286%2F12%29x+=+%281%2F2%29x+
x+= one whole, deduct what she spent
x-%281%2F2%29x+=+%281%2F2%29x-> left
