Answer 1

Dian has $250 originally.

Explanation:

Let the total money Dian has originally = $S

Dian gave
`(2)/(5)` of her total money to Justin,

Money given to Justin =
`(2)/(5)(\text{S})`

Money left with Dian = S -
`(2)/(5)(\text{S})`

=
`\frac{\text{5S-2S}}{5}`

=
`(3S)/(5)`

Since Dian has $150 left then the equation will be,

`(3S)/(5)=150`

S =
`(150* 5)/(3)`

S = $250

Therefore, Dian has $250 originally.
