Question

Akira and tori Chang received a total of $48,000 from an estate. They decided to put $9,600 in a trust and divide the remainder. Tori received 3/8 of the remainder. How much did Akira receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

$24,000

Step-by-step explanation:

After putting in trust they have left:

48000 - 9600 = $38,400

If Tori gets 3/8, Akira will get the remaining (1 - 3/8 = 5/8). So Akira will get:

$\frac{5}{8}*38,400=24,000$

Hence akira will get $24,000
