Anahi · Answer 1

800-20 is 780. A third of 780 is 780 (1/3) = 260. 780 - 260 = 520. 25% of $520 is 0.25 (520) = 130. 520 - 130 = 390. One sixth of 390 is 390 (1/6) = 65. 390 - 65 = 325. So, Bob kept $325 for himself.

Out of the $800 that bob won in the bingo match, and after all the give away's that Bob did, he kept $65 to himself.
