Question

Linda had $15 in her coin bank. On her birthday, 5 relatives sent her

money as a birthday gift. Each relative sent the same amount. She
then had $115. How much money did Linda receive from each relative?

Answer 1

Answer: Each relative gave her $20

Explanation:

So she started with $15 meaning when she got her new total of 115 you must subtract the start of what she had.

115-15=100

Since she had 5 relatives that gave her money (the same amount) you divide the remaining money by 5

100/5=20

Each relative gave her $20 each giving her a new total of $115
