Freddy

Freddy has £24, and Layla has £32.
Freddy spends 11/12 of his money, and Layla spends 7/8 of her money.
How much more money does Layla spend than Freddy?

Correct answer:

x =  6

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} F=24 \\ L=32 \\ f=\frac{11}{12}\cdot F=\frac{11}{12}\cdot 24=\frac{11\cdot 24}{12}=\frac{264}{12}=22 \\ l=\frac{7}{8}\cdot L=\frac{7}{8}\cdot 32=\frac{7\cdot 32}{8}=\frac{224}{8}=28 \\ x=l-f=28-22=6 \end{gathered}$$
