At a supermarket, John spent 1/2 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/10 on bakery products. If he spent the remaining $10 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?  Pick:  A) $60  B) $80  C) $90  D) $120  E) $150
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 1/2 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, or (1/2)T, 1/3 on meat products, or (1/3)T, and 1/10 on bakery products, or (1/10)T. We are also given that he spent the remaining $10 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:   (1/2)T + (1/3)T + (1/10)T + 10 = T   To get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 30, and we obtain:   15T + 10T + 3T + 300 = 30T   28T + 300 = 30T   300 = 2T   T = 150   John spent $90 at the supermarket.   Answer: $150
