First you can make the question simple by taking away the zero off of 450. You then have 45, the question is what number goes into 45 five times? The answer is nine, then you add the zero to the nine and the 45. So you have 90 and 450, so 2/5 of 450 is 180. Subtract that and you get $270. 1/3 is the same, 90 is 1/3. Subtract that from 270 and you get your answer of $180 left.
