Answer 1

Answer:

Jason receives $280 and Mary receives $200.

After spending 20% Jason has 46.67% of the $480.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mary receives $5x and Jason receives $7x.

According to the question,

5x + 7x = 480

=> 12x = 480

=> x = 480/12 = 40

So, 5x = 5 × 40 = 200 and 7x = 7 × 40 = 280.

Therefore, Jason receives $280 and Mary receives $200. As Jason spends 20% of his share, he now has 80% of $280 which is

(80/100) × $280 = $224.

To find the percentage out of $480, we do the following calculation:

(224/480) × 100 = 46.66... which is approximately equal to 46.67%.

Hence, Jason now has 46.67% of the $480.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason wins a lottery = $480

He shares his money to his friend

So his ratio is 7 = 7/12×480=$280 (since ratio 5:7 means 5+7=12)

Mary ratio is 5 = 5/12×480=$200

So he received $280.

Jason spends his share of $480 = 20%

20/100×480 = $96

So Jason had now money is $96.
