Question

Each year Aubrey donates 1/10 of her annual income to charities. One fifth of that amount goes to a charity that supports the artistic skills of area students. How much of her annual income goes to the charity supporting artistic skills

Answer 1

1/50 of her annual income goes to the charity supporting artistic skills.

Explanation:

Aubrey donates 1/10 of her annual income to charities. To know how much of her annual income goes to the charity supporting artistic skills we must multiply.

One fifth of one tenth is:

1/5*1/10= 1/50

Then, 1/50 of her annual income goes to the charity supporting artistic skills.

For example, if Aubrey's annual income is $1,000:

One tenth of this annual income goes for charities: $1,000*(1/10)= $100

Then, one fifth of this goes to the artistic charity= $100*1/5= $20

But this is the same as 1/50 of the Aubrey's annual income:

$1,000*1/50= $20
