REWRITE EACH PROBLEM AS A MULTIPLICATION QUESTION!!Mr. Scuggs got some money for his birthday. He spent 1/5 of it on dog treats. Then, he divided the remainder equally among his 3 favorite charities.1: What fraction of his money did each charity recieve2: If he donated 60 to each charity, how much money did he recieve for his birthday.

Sagot :

Let Mr. Scuggs got x money on his birthaday.

The spent mone on dog treats is 1/5 means that 1/5x.

1:

Determine the money he left after dog treats.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x-\frac{1}{5}x=\frac{5x-x}{5} \\ =\frac{4x}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The remaining money is divided among 3 charities.

Determine the money recieved by each charity.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{\frac{4x}{5}}{3}=\frac{4x}{5\cdot3} \\ =\frac{4x}{15} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The fraction of money exh charity recieve is 4/15.

2:

The equation for the x is 4x/15 = 60.

Smplify the equation for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{15}=60 \\ x=\frac{60\cdot15}{4} \\ =15\cdot15 \\ =225 \end{gathered}[/tex]
