3 x 4 = 12
12/12 - 1/3 ( so 4/12) = 8/12
8/12 - 1/4 ( so 2/12 as you only have 8/12 left) = 6/12
Answer = 6/12 = 1/2 or 50%
12/12 - 1/3 ( so 4/12) = 8/12
8/12 - 1/4 ( so 2/12 as you only have 8/12 left) = 6/12
Answer = 6/12 = 1/2 or 50%

Let the total pocket money Simon got to be represented by x.
Given that Simon spent 1/3 of his pocket money on a computer game.
Amount spend on computer game = 1/3 of x
= 1/3 × x
= x/3
Also, Simon spent 1/4 of his pocket money on a ticket for a football match.
Amount spent on pocket money = 1/4 of x
= 1/4 × x
= x/4
The fraction of his pocket money that is left with Simon is,
Fraction left = x - x/3 - x/4
= (12x - 4x - 3x)/12
= 5x /12
= 5/12 of x
