At a supermarket, John spent 1/4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/6 on bakery products. If he spent the remaining $6 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?  Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) $24 B) $80 C) $90 D) $120 E) $180
Let's let T = total number of dollars spent at the supermarket. With this variable we can set up an equation and determine T.   We are given that John spent 1/4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, or (1/4)T, 1/3 on meat products, or (1/3)T, and 1/6on bakery products, or (1/6)T. We are also given that he spent the remaining $6 on candy. Since we know where all his money was allocated, we can sum these values together and set the sum to T. So we have:   (1/4)T + (1/3)T + (1/6)T + 6 = T   To get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 12, and we obtain:   3T + 4T + 2T + 72 = 12T   9T + 72 = 12T   72 = 3T   T = 24   John spent $24 at the supermarket.   $24nswer: $24
