Question

Mrs. Ramirez donated P 5 000. 00 for typhoon Ulysses victims. If 50% of her donation was sent to Catanduanes while another 50% to Cagayan. how much did the victims from Catanduanes and Cagayan receive?

Answer 1

To answer the question, Mrs. Ramirez's P 5,000.00 donation was split equally, with 50% going to Catanduanes and 50% going to Cagayan, resulting in each location receiving P 2,500.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves solving a mathematical problem related to percentage distribution. Mrs. Ramirez donated P 5,000.00 to help the victims of Typhoon Ulysses. According to the problem, she has split the donation evenly between two locations, Catanduanes and Cagayan.

To solve the mathematical problem completely, we need to calculate how much each location received.

To begin, we know that Mrs. Ramirez made a total donation of P 5,000.00 and that she allocated 50% of this amount to each location. Finding 50% of an amount is the same as dividing the amount by 2 or multiplying it by 0.5.

1. So for Catanduanes: P 5,000.00 x 0.5 = P 2,500.00
2. And for Cagayan: P 5,000.00 x 0.5 = P 2,500.00

This means that both Catanduanes and Cagayan each received P 2,500.00 from Mrs. Ramirez's donation.
