Question

Anna's salary is four times Emily's salary. They decide to share the cost of a $120 gift card. Anna will contribute four times as much as Emily. How much does each contribute

Answer 1

Emily will contribute $24 and Anna will contribute $96

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let Emily's salary be x

and let Anna's salary be 4x since Anna's salary is four times Emily's salary.

They were to share the cost of a $120 gift card.

SO, x+4x = 120

5x = 120

x = 120/5

x = 24

Therefore, Emily will contribute x = $24

and Anna will contribute 4x = 4 × $24 = $96
