Lewis wins £360 in a prize draw. He gives 15% to charity and puts 3/8 into his savings. The rest he uses to buy a bike. How much of the money has Lewis got left for this bike? Note: do not use a calculator

10% of £360 is £36. Therefore 5% of £360 would be £18 (half of the 10% figure). Added together, 15% of £360 would be £54. 1/8 of £360 is £45 (half £360 three times), therefore 3/8 would be £135 (£45*3). £54 + £135 = £189. £360 - £189 = £171. Lewis therefore has £171 to spend on his bike.
