Question

1: Ken earned $176 from his part-time job this summer. He spent 25% of his money on games. ​He is going to donate 14 of the remaining money to charity. How much money will the charity receive? ​

Answer 1

The charity will receive $ 11

Solution:

Ken earned $176 from his part-time job this summer

Amount earned = $ 176

He spent 25% of his money on games

Therefore,

Money spent on games = 176 - 25 % of 176

$\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - \frac{25}{100} \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 0.25 \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 44\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 132$

He is going to donate 1/4 of the remaining money to charity

Reamining amount = 176 - 132 = 44

Therefore,

$Money\ given\ to\ charity = \frac{1}{4} \times 44 = 11$

Thus he gave $ 11 to charity
