Part a· 1 step
How much did the shirt cost?
Calculate of R150.
$$ \text{Shirt cost} = \frac{2}{5} \times \text{R}150 $$ $$ \text{Shirt cost} = 2 \times \frac{150}{5} $$ $$ \text{Shirt cost} = 2 \times 30 = \text{R}60 $$ The shirt cost $\boxed{\text{R}60}$.
Part b
How much money did he have left after buying the shirt?
Subtract the shirt cost from the initial amount.
$$ \text{Money left after shirt} = \text{R}150 - \text{R}60 $$ $$ \text{Money left after shirt} = \text{R}90 $$ He had $\boxed{\text{R}90}$ left after buying the shirt.
Part c
How much did the cap cost?
Calculate of the money left (R90).
$$ \text{Cap cost} = \frac{2}{3} \times \text{R}90 $$ $$ \text{Cap cost} = 2 \times \frac{90}{3} $$ $$ \text{Cap cost} = 2 \times 30 = \text{R}60 $$ The cap cost $\boxed{\text{R}60}$.
Part d
How much money did he have left after buying the cap?
Subtract the cap cost from the money left after buying the shirt.
$$ \text{Money left after cap} = \text{R}90 - \text{R}60 $$ $$ \text{Money left after cap} = \text{R}30 $$ He had $\boxed{\text{R}30}$ left after buying the cap.
