Answer: She gave a fraction of 1/4 to charity, and she gave $150 to family

Step-by-step explanation: Ebony had a totaly of $200 dollars to start with to give away that means if she gave 3/4 of $200 to family that would mean she gave $150 dollars to her family

Now the other part of the question is how much of the total amount did Ebony give to charity now if I understand that part correctly then it wants you to give the fraction of the total which would be she gave 1/4 out of the $200 she had for family and charity which means she gave 1/4 of $200 which is $50 to charity

Hope this Helps!
