Question

Eric earned 2/5 of the profits of the canteen on the weekend. His earnings were $620. What was the total profit earned in the canteen?

Answer 1

assuming he earned 620 on the weekend

so if 2/5=620

2/5 of all=620
times both sides by 5/2
all=3100/2
all=1550

total earnings will be $1550

Answer 2

620 / 2 = 310
310 * 5 = 1550
the total profit of the canteen earned was $1550
