Hack: we know that 25%=1/4
1/4 of 5000=5000/4=1250
answer is $1250
but the right way is
25%=25/100=1/4 then the math bit then answer is $1250
Jim started out with 3,067.48 in his checking and ended with 1,845.24 after paying for airplane tickets. To figure out how much money he spent on the tickets, you will need to first subtract the ending amount of 1,845.24 from 3,067.48 and then divide the sum to get the amount spent on each ticket.
3,067.48 - 1,845.24 = 1,222.24
1,222.24\2= 611.12
In the end Jim spent 1,222.24 in total on tickets. He spent around 611.12 on each ticket.
Hope this helps!
$3.15 because 5,25 divided by 5 is 1.05 times 3
