Dónal got €2:40, how much did Mary get​

Answer 1

Mary received €5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Mary got, we need to determine the fraction of the money that Dónal received. Since Dónal got €2.40, which is the remainder, we can represent it as 3/8 of the total money. This means Mary received 5/8 of the total money. To find out how much Mary got, we can use a proportion:

5/8 = Mary's amount / Total amount

Now, we can solve for Mary's amount by cross multiplying:

5 * Total amount = 8 * Mary's amount

To make it easier, we'll assume the total amount is 8 units, so 5 * 8 = 8 * Mary's amount.

40 = 8 * Mary's amount

To isolate Mary's amount, we divide both sides by 8:

Mary's amount = 40 / 8

Mary's amount = €5
