Question

Kayla and Yana have the same amount of money after Kayla spends $25 the ratio of the amount of money in dollars Kayla has to the amount of money in dollars Yana has is five to eight how much money does Kayla have now

Answer 1

$41.67

Explanation:

At first:

K = Y

After Kayla spends $25:

(K - 25)/Y = 5/8

From above, K = Y, so

(K - 25)/K = 5/8

8K - 200 = 5k

3K = 200

K = 200/3

K = 66.67

K - 25 = 41.67

Answer: $41.67
