Ginger and her have saved $5000 for an upcoming vacation. they plan to spend 2/5 on travel and lodging and 1/4 of the remainder on meals. how much money will ginger and her friends have to spend on meals?
First, let's calculate how much money will be spent on travel and lodging.
2/5 of $5000 = (2/5) * 5000 = 0.4 * 5000 = $2000
Therefore, the remainder after spending on travel and lodging will be:
$5000 - $2000 = $3000
Now, calculate how much will be spent on meals:
1/4 of $3000 = (1/4) * 3000 = 0.25 * 3000 = $750
So, Ginger and her friends will have $750 to spend on meals.
