Lizzy: Abe owns a restaurant. Every month he spends a third of his budget on food, a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, and the rest of his budget on employee wages. If his budget is $3000 and he uses it up every month, how much is he spending on wages?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

Abe is spending a third of his budget on food, so he spends $3000 / 3 = $1000 on food. He spends a quarter of his budget on restaurant supplies, so he spends $3000 / 4 = $750 on supplies. Thus, he spends $3000 - $1000 - $750 = $1250 on employee wages every month. Final answer: 1250.
