At a supermarket, John spent 1/4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/6 on bakery products. If he spent the remaining $6 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?
Pick one:
A) $ 24	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 / 4 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables , or ( 1 / 4 ) t , 1 / 3 on meat products , or ( 1 / 3 ) t , and 1 / 6 on bakery products , or ( 1 / 6 ) t . we are also given that he spent the remaining $ 6 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 / 4 ) t + ( 1 / 3 ) t + ( 1 / 6 ) t + 6 = t to get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 12 , and we obtain : 3 t + 4 t + 2 t + 72 = 12 t 9 t + 72 = 12 t 72 = 3 t t = 24 john spent $ 24 at the supermarket . answer : a"
