Question

Margaret bought a video game, her father gave her 0.2 of the money, her aunt gave 0.5 of the money and she saved the rest. She saved $168 so what amt of money did her father give

Answer 1

if Im correct it should be $8.40

Explanation:

why well if you think of breaking down by say 1/4 of 168 all you do is divide 4 which is the whole amount by 0.2 which is the amount the father gave her so 4/0.2= 20 the you take your whole 168 and divide by 20 which the whole number for 0.2 the your answer should be this 168/20= 8.4 which then i assumed it was $8.40 hopefully that is correct hehe
