mr thompson spends 1/5 of his salary on rent, 1/6 on food, 1/10 on clothing and 1/15 on entertainment. what fraction of his salary is left

The answer is 7/15.
We know the expenses. So we add 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/10 and 1/15
Since the denominators have different values, take the LCM (30) so that you would get (6+5+3+2) / 30.
Now the fraction becomes 16/30 which can be reduced to 8/15.
1-8/15 = 7/15 which is the answer.
