Question 372836: two 5th grade math word problems
1)
Christian made some pancakes. She sold 3/5 of them in the morning and 1/4 of the remainder in the afternoon. If she had 300 pancakes left, how many pancakes did she make?
2) Larry spent 1/2 of his money on a camera and another 1/8 on a radio. The camera cost $120 more than the radio. How much money did he have at first?
Thank-you for help!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) the 300 is the 3/4 of the 2/5 remaining from the morning, that weren't sold in the afternoon
___ (3/4) * (2/5) = 3/10
___ if 300 is 3/10 , then 1/10 is 100 , and 10/10 (all she made) is 1000
2) the difference between the camera (1/2) and the radio (1/8) is ___ (4/8) - (1/8) or 3/8
___ if 3/8 is $120 , then 1/8 is $40 , and 8/8 (all his money) is $320
