Question

Mrs . Martin has $7,000 in her savings account . Alonzo has 1/10 as much money in his account as mrs. Martin . How much money does Alonzo have in his account

Answer 1

1/10 of 7,000 is 700

Answer 2

the amount Martin has in her account is $ 7000

Alonzo has 1/10th the amount Martin has

Therefore Alonzo has;

`(1)/(10) of 7000`

when the 'of' function is used multiplication is carried out

`(1*7000)/(10)`

numerator is divided by the denominator

then answer is - 7000/10 = $ 700

Amount Alonzo has is $ 700
