Isaiah spent 3/8 on a shirt and 1/5 of the remainder on a wallet. the wallet cost $80.00.
how much money did isaiah have remaining
Correct, of course, except (from a logic PoV) I would have expressed it as \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}\) of \(\displaystyle \frac{5}{8}\) rather than "(5/8) of (1/5)" though, ofc, the answer (due to multiplicative commutativity) is exactly the same, ie: \(\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}\).So 1/8 of the entire money is $80
Note that (5/8) of (1/5) is 1/8
