Hey!
Ignore the birthday party stuff and go to 95 first. Subtract 9 from 95 you get the answer 86. Next you need to find how many times 8 goes into 86. 86/8 which is 10 with a remainder of 6. Therefore, Guy can donate to 6 animal shelter. I hope this helps with future problems.
Answer: x = 7
Explanation:
Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate x.
x + 8 = 15
x + 8 -8 = 15 - 8
x = 15 - 8
x = 7
If they were equal both times they checked this means that 15% of their $ was equal to $210
so 15/100 = 210/x
so .15x=210
x=210/.15
x = 1400
