Keith won a cash prize in an art competition. He gave his mother 2/5 of the money he won. Of the remainder, 1/4 was given to his sister, and 2/3 was given to his brother. He had $15 left. How much was Keith’s cash prize?
1 answer:
Answer:
300 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original amount = x
x - 2/5x was what his mother's share looked.
5/5 x - 2/5 x
3/5x is what is left.
3/5 x - 1/4 * 3/5 x - 2/3x * 3/5 = his sister's share and his brothers
3/5x - 1/4*3/5 x - 2/3 * 3/5 = 15
3/5x * (1 - 1/4 - 2/3) = 15
3/5 x 5/60 = 15
15 / 300 * x = 15
1/20 x = 15
x = 15 * 20
x = 300
