Answer 1

Answer -

• Jackson has Rs 106/4 or Rs 26.5 now.

To find -

• The amount of money Jackson has now.

Step-by-step explanation -

Here, it is given that -

• Amount of money Jackson had = Rs 150.  

• Amount of money he gave to his sister = Rs 35 1/2 or 71/2.

• Amount of money he gave to his brother = Rs 65 3/4 or 263/4.

• Amount of money he gave to his mother = Rs 22 1/4 or 89/4.

--------------------------

We are asked to find out the amount left with Jackson. First let's find the amount he gave in total!

$\longrightarrow \sf{Money \: given= \dfrac{263}{4} + \dfrac{71}{2} + \dfrac{89}{4}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Money \: given = \dfrac{352}{4} + \dfrac{71}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Money \: given = \dfrac{(352 \times 1) + (71 \times 2)}{4}}$

$\sf \longrightarrow Money \: given = \dfrac{352 + 142}{4}$

$\sf \longrightarrow Money \: given = Rs \: \dfrac{494}{4}$

• Therefore, the amount given is Rs 494/4.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Now,

$\longrightarrow \sf Money \: left = 150 - \dfrac{494}{4}$  

$\longrightarrow \sf Money \: left = \dfrac{(150 \times 4) - (494 \times 1)}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \sf Money \: left = \dfrac{600 - 494}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \sf Money \: left = Rs \: \dfrac{106}{4}$

Hence,

• The amount left with Jackson is Rs 106/4 or Rs 26.5.
