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 $8 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?	Choose the correct choice from the following:  A) $ 60  B) $ 80  C) $ 90  D) $ 120  E) $ 180

Rationale: 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 $ 8 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 + 8 = t to get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 30 , and we obtain : 15 t + 10 t + 3 t + 240 = 30 t 28 t + 240 = 30 t 240 = 2 t t = 120 john spent $ 90 at the supermarket . answer : d
Answer: D
