Hey there !
Let the money he got for his birthday be $X
Amount spent on dog treats - x/5
Left- x-x/5 = 4x/5
Divided in three- 4x/5/3 = 4x/15 (which is the amount given to each charity)
Now, as stated, each charity got $60
4x/15 = 60
or x = 225
Thus, the money Mr. Scruggs received was $225
Hope it helps!
