Answer:
1/8 of the original sum still remains.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you spend 3/4 of what you have, you have 1/4 left.
Now you spend 1/2 of that 1/4, so basically divide 1/4 by 2. When dividing fractions you can multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the other fraction.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= 1/8
So I think 1/8 of the original sum still remains.
Hope this helped, please mark brainliest if possible. Have a nice day.
