A school received a capitation grant of GH₵ 24,000. If 3/8 was spent on teaching learning materials, how much was spent on TLMs?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. GH₵ 9,000.00
- Step 1: Multiply the total grant by the fraction: (3/8) 24,000. Step 2. Calculate: 24,000 ÷ 8 = 3,000. Then 3 3,000 = GH₵ 9,000.00. Answer: GH₵ 9,000.00. Why not the others: GH₵ 6,000.00 is 1/4 (2/8); GH₵ 8,000.00 is 1/3; GH₵ 15,000.00 is the remaining balance (5/8).
