Gail took part in a quiz show and won half a million pounds she spends 120000 pounds on a sports car. Then spends half of the money left on a apartment. How much was gails apartment?

Answer: 190,000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount won by Gail = 500,000

Amount spent on sports car = 120,000

Money left = Amount won minus amount spent on sports car

= 500,000 - 120,000

= 380,000

Then she spends half of the amount left on her apartment

= 1/2 of 380,000

= 1/2 * 380,000

= 190,000

Her apartment costs 190,000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total money won, T = 1/2 * $1 million

= $500000

Less: money spent on sport car, s = $120000

Apartment, a = 1/2 * (T - s)

Money left, r = T - s

= 500000 - 120000

= $380000

Money spent on apartment, a = 1/2 * r

= 1/2 * 380000

= $190000
