Knox save $56 during the summer break. He spent 3/7 of his savings on a pair of baseball cleats. He spent 5/8 of the remaining money on a baseball bat. How much money does Knox have left after buying the cleats and bat?

12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent 3/7 of 56

3/7*56 =24

Take the original amount and subtract what was spent

56-24 =32

He has 32 left

He spent 5/8 of that on a bat

5/8 *32 =20

Take the amount of money he had and subtract what was spent

32-20 = 12

He has 12 left

8 2/3 is the answer
