Okay, so Angelo had a dollars and spent 1/3 of that. So he spent 1/3a
Then, the amount he has left can be denoted as: (a - 1/3a)
Jimmy had j dollars and spent 1/2 of it:
So the amount he has left can be denoted as (j - 1/2j)
Since jimmy had more money left, you would subtract the amount angelo has from the amount that jimmy has left.
So: (j - 1/2j) - (a - 1/3a).
