    1 - 1/8 - 2/3 = 5/24

    $200 * 5/24 = 125/3 ≈ $41.67

    Answer (a): $41.67

    $200 * 1/8 = $25

    Answer (b): $25.00

    $200

    1/8 of 200 is $25

    so minus the $25 and you have $175

    1/3 of $175 is about $58.33 so 2/3 would be $116.67

    So minus that from the $175 and he has approx. $58.33 left to spend
