Question

Mr. Zeeman received a tax refund. He spent $40 on take-out food for a family dinner and used one-third of the remaining money to buy a new vacuum cleaner. After he deposited half of what was left in his checking account, he still had $80. How much was his tax refund?

Answer 1

280

40+1/3=40.3
80+80=160
200+80=280

Answer 2

$280
$80•2=160+80=240+40=280
Hope this helps :)
