First we know that 2/3 = 66.55%, so 2/30 = 6.66%

x = 15000

Then Ana = (2/30)x

Saph = (2/30)*x*3 + 450

Adding Ana and Saph = x(2/30)+3x(2/30)+450
x(2/30)+2x/10 = (8/30)x = (8/30)*15000 = 4000

then 4000 + 450 = 4450

C) is the answer.

Ana - 6.66% of 15000
= 999 = 1000

Sarah - 450 + 3*1000
3450

Total
4450
15000-4450= 10550

6.66+3x6.66+450$
So almost 25% of 15000-450

Answer - D

Sale price = 15000

Ana's share = 1/15*15000 = $1000
Saph' share = 450 + 3(Ana's share) = $3450

Total share of Ana & Saph = $4450

Amount given to charity = $15000 - $4450 = $10550 ~ $10500( OPTION D)

Posted from my mobile device

Ana kept 6.66% of 15,000 which is 1,000
Saph kept 3*1000 +450= 3450
So the remaining amount given to charity is 15,000-4450 which is roughly option 10,500
So IMO, D is the answer.

Given: Ana and Saph sold their doughnut shop for $15,000. They gave most of the proceeds to charity, but Ana kept 6.66% of the sale price, and Saph kept $450 more than three times the amount that Ana kept.

Asked: Which of the following is closest to the amount that was given to charity?

Anna kept = 6.66%×15000= $1000
Saph kept= 3×1000+450= $3450

Amount given to charity= $15000-$1000-$3550=$10450

Among the answer choices, option D $10500 is closest to $10450.

IMO D

IMO D is the correct answer.

The amount that Ana kept is
6.66% * 15,000 = 1000

The amount that Saph kept is
1000 *3 + 450 = 3450

The amount goes to charity is
15000 - 1000 - 3450 = 10550

D is the closest number

Posted from my mobile device

Amount kept by Ana = 6.66% of 15000
= (6+2/3)/100 × 15000
= 1000 (Appx.)

Now amount kept by Saph =
3×1000+450
=3,450

So the amount given to charity = 15000-3450-1000
= 10,550 which is closest to 11000.

So the answer is E.

The aim is to line up the calculation efficiently.

6.66% is 2/30 of the whole, and so 8/30 was kept by the partners while 22/30 of 15k (which neatly line us to 11k) minus 450 (that’s 10550 to be exact) goes to charity.

D is the correct choice

Since, Ana kept 6.66% of sale price, it translates to roughly 1/15 of SP.
SP = 15000.
Ana's share = 1/15*15000 = 1000
Saph's shares = 3*Ana's share + 450 = 3000+ 450 = 3450
Since, rest went to charity,
Charity proceeds = SP - Ana's Share - Saph's share = 15000 - 1000 - 3450 = 10550
Closest amount to proceeds ~ 10500
Answer should be (D).

Ana kept 6.66% of 15000
3.33 % is 1/30
6.66% is 2/30
Hence Ana kept 1/15* 15000= 1000
Saph kept 450+ 3*1000= 3450
Total kept = 1000+ 3450 = 4450
Bal charity = 15000-4450= 10550 closest to 10500

Selling Price of Their Doughnut Shop: $15,000

Ana kept 6.66% of $15,000= So she kept $999

Saph Kept= $450 + 3($999)= $3447

Total Amount kept by Ana and Saph= $999+$3447= $4446

So the amount given to Charity = $15,000 - $4446 = $10,554 which is closest to $10,500 so option D IMO.

E？counted Ana’s “6.66%” as “7%” and got “10350.” The OA should be slightly more than that

Posted from my mobile device

Amount of money Ana kept is 6.66% of the sale price. so Ana money Ana has = (6.66 / 100) *15000 =$990
So total money left with Saph = (990 * 3) + 450 = $ 3420.
Total money they both kept = $(990 + 3420) = $4410
So the total amount given to charity = $15000 - $ 4410 = $ 10590 approximately equal to $ 10500.
Hence, D is the correct answer.

C?

6.66 % = 2/30

Ana = 2/30 (15000) = 1000

Saph = 450 + 3(1000) = 3450

Total = 4450 .. closest to 4500

Total Sale Price 15000
Ana Kept 6.66% of 15000 which is 6.66*15000/100=$1000
Also Saph kept 450+3*(Amount kept by Ana)
= 450+3*1000
=3450
Total money kept 1000+3450=4450
Total money for charity=15000-4450
=10550
Closest is 10500
So option D
