Sorry. Please check the correct answer below.
$\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{1}{5}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{8}{10}$ $\frac{10}{10}$ - $\frac{8}{10}$ = $\frac{2}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ a) He Saved $\frac{1}{5}$ of the salary. b) 2 units $\longrightarrow$ \$480 5 units $\longrightarrow$ \$240 $\times$ 5 = \$1200 c) 1 unit = \$240 He spent \$240 on transport.
$\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{1}{5}$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ + $\frac{2}{10}$ + $\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{8}{10}$ $\frac{10}{10}$ - $\frac{8}{10}$ = $\frac{2}{10}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$ a) He Saved $\frac{1}{5}$ of the salary. b) 2 units $\longrightarrow$ \$480 5 units $\longrightarrow$ \$240 $\times$ 5 = \$1200 c) 1 unit = \$240 He spent \$240 on transport.

$\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{4}{12}$ + $\frac{3}{12}$ = $\frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{4}{12}$ = 96 stickers $\frac{1}{12}$ = 24 stickers $\frac{3}{12}$ = 72 stickers a) He had $\frac{2}{3}$ of his stickers left. b) He gave 72 stickers to Charlie.
$\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{1}{3}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{4}{12}$ + $\frac{3}{12}$ = $\frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ $\frac{4}{12}$ = 96 stickers $\frac{1}{12}$ = 24 stickers $\frac{3}{12}$ = 72 stickers a) He had $\frac{2}{3}$ of his stickers left. b) He gave 72 stickers to Charlie.
