Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok first lets find out what 1/5 of 400 dollars is: 400/5= 80

So 1/5 of 400 is 80, now lets see what 2/5 is= 80 * 2= 160

Then subtract: 400 - 160= 240

we have 240 left. If he spent 1/4 of that on a vacuum cleaner then we have to: 240/4=60

He spent 60 dollars, now to find the remaining we must subtract: 240-60=180

Hope this helped ;)

So 2/5 is 0.4

0.4 of 400=160

400-160=240

240 is the remainder(what is left)

He used 1/4

1/4=0.25

240*1/4 =60

So 240-60=180

So your answer is: Mr.Ray will have $180 left.
