Question

If 1/5 of the money in a cash box is 30 dollars, how much money is in the cash box?

Answer 1

Money in the cash box is $150

Explanation:

Let

x = money in the cash box

1/5 of the money in a cash box is 30 dollars

1/5 of x = $30

1/5 * x = 30

1/5x = 30

Divide both sides by 1/5

x = 30 ÷ 1/5

= 30 × 5/1

= 150/1

x = $150

Money in the cash box is $150
