Paco has $300. June has 1/10 as much as Paco. She has 10 times as much money as Marie. How much money does June have? How much money does Marie have?

Answer 1

june has 1/10 of paco
june has 1/10 of 300=1/10 times 300=300/10=30

june has 10 timess as much as marie
marie imes 10=june
june=30
marie times 10=30
divide by 10
marei=3

marei has $3

Answer 2

1/10 of 300 is 30 so June has $30. If June has 10 times as much as Marie then Maria has 1/10 of what June has and 1/10 of 30 is 3 so Marie has $3.
