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:
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.
