Question

REWRITE EACH PROBLEM AS A MULTIPLICATION QUESTION!!Mr. Scuggs got some money for his birthday. He spent 1/5 of it on dog treats. Then, he divided the remainder equally among his 3 favorite charities.1: What fraction of his money did each charity recieve2: If he donated 60 to each charity, how much money did he recieve for his birthday.

Answer 1

Let Mr. Scuggs got x money on his birthaday.

The spent mone on dog treats is 1/5 means that 1/5x.

1:

Determine the money he left after dog treats.

`\begin{gathered} x-(1)/(5)x=(5x-x)/(5) \\ =(4x)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The remaining money is divided among 3 charities.

Determine the money recieved by each charity.

`\begin{gathered} ((4x)/(5))/(3)=(4x)/(5\cdot3) \\ =(4x)/(15) \end{gathered}`

The fraction of money exh charity recieve is 4/15.

2:

The equation for the x is 4x/15 = 60.

Smplify the equation for x.

`\begin{gathered} (4x)/(15)=60 \\ x=(60\cdot15)/(4) \\ =15\cdot15 \\ =225 \end{gathered}`

So, he recieve 225 on his birthday.
