Question

Nick decided to take 2/5 Of the money in his bank account and donate It To a local charity if Nick donated $70 to a local charity what was the total amount in his bank account

Answer 1

The total amount in his bank account is $175.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of money in Nick's bank account = $ x

Nick decided to take $\frac{2}{5}$ of the money in his bank account and donate it to local charity.

Nick donated $70 to a local charity.

$\frac{2}{5}\times x = 70$

=> 2x = 70 x 5 = 350.

=> 2x = 350

=> x = $\frac{350}{2} = 175$

Hence, the total amount in his bank account is $175.
