Question

On saturday emily made 10 times as much as monday.How much money did emily collect on monday?

Answer 1

The money emily collected on Saturday was a known quantity. Let it be s.

Let the money collected by emily on Monday be x.

We need to find x.

It is given that the money collected by emily on Saturday was 10 times the money collected by her on Monday.

So, 10x = s

`x=(s)/(10)`

Hence, the money collected by emily on Monday was 1/10 of the money collected by her on Saturday.
