Jon spent 1/4 of his allowance on baseball cards, 1/3 on baseball souvenirs, and 3/8 on baseball tickets. if he had $5 left, how much allowance did he have to start with?

Your answer is $120. You get this by first adding all of the fractions you were given by finding their common denominator. In this case, it is 24, which gives you
6/24 + 8/24 + 9/24 = 23/24. This means that the remaining $5 must equal 1/24 of his original allowance, so then we just need to multiply 5 by 24 to get the whole allowance, which equals $120.
I hope this helps!

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
