Answer:
Joe has $5.5 left
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this question, we need to find the amounts of each of the fractions of his money he used. We can do this by multiplying 36 by the decimal value of the fraction.
36*.25=9. Since 1/4 is equal to .25, we multiply it by 36 to find 1/4 of it.
36*.5=18 1/2 is also equal to .5
36*.375=13.5 since 3/8 is .375 in fraction form.
Now we subtract everything.
36-9=27
27-18=19
19-13.5=5.5
Joe has 5.5 dollars left
Hope this helps! :D
