Knox save $56 during the summer break. He spent 3/7 of his savings on a pair of baseball cleats. He spent 5/8 of the remaining money on a baseball bat. How much money does Knox have left after buying the cleats and bat?

12$

Step-by-step explanation:

56$ x 3/7 = 24$ (he spent 24$ on the cleats)

56$ - 24$ = 32$ so he has 32$ left for the baseball bat

32$ x 5/8 = 20$ (he spent 20$ on the baseball bat)

32$ - 20$ = 12$ 32 minus 20 is 12 so he has 12$ left

12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent 3/7 of 56

3/7*56 = 24

Take the original amount and subtract what was spent

56-24 = 32

He has 32 left

He spent 5/8 of that on a bat

5/8 * 32 = 20

Take the amount of money he had and subtract what was spent

32-20 = 12

He has 12 left
