Respuesta :

Answer:

7x/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her entire allowance be represented by 'x'

She spent 5/8 of 2/3 of her allowance on magazines.

= 5/8×2/3

= 10/24

= 5/12

That 5/12 of 'x'

5/12x

Since her total allowance is x

She will be left with = x - 5/12x

x/1 - 5/12x

12x-5x/12x

= 7x/12

Hence she will be left with 7x/12
