Answer 2

The total value of the property is (3) $225000.

Given: Jake owns 60% of a property, and two-fifth of his share is worth $54,000.

To Find: The total value of the property.

Solution:

The question given is slightly incorrect. The correct form of the question should be as follows:

Jake owns 60% of a property, two-fifth of his share is worth $54,000. Find the total value of the property​.

Let the total value of the property be 'x'.

It is said that Jake owns 60% of the property.

So, a fraction of the property owned by Jake = 60x / 100

                                                                        = 3x / 5

Now, it is again said that two-fifths of his share is worth $54,000.

So, we can write it as = ( 2 / 5 ) of ( 3x / 5 ) = ( 2 / 5 ) × ( 3x / 5 )  

                                    = 6x / 25

Now, we can form an equation with the given information as;

               6x / 25 = $54000

           ⇒ x  = $  ( 54000 × 25 ) / 6

           ⇒ x  = $ 1350000 / 6

           ⇒ x  = $225000

Hence, the total value of the property is (3) $225000.
