Question

Emily wins 22000$. She has to pay 10% for charity and then she decides to buy a car for 10800$. She divides the rest of them between her son and daughter in the ratio 1:4. How much does her daughter get.

Answer 1

Answer:

$7 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of money paid for charity = $\frac{10}{100}$ × $22 000

                                                         = $2 200

Remaining money left for children = $22 000 - $2 200 - $10 800

                                                         = $9000

Let the amount of money her son receives be x and the amount her daughter gets be 4x.

Son's $ + Daughter's $ = $9000

x + 4x = 9000

5x = 9000

Amount of money her daughter gets (4x) = $\frac{4}{5}$ × 9000

                                                                     = $7 200
