Answer: Fraction of money each charity received \(=\dfrac{4}{15}\)
He received $225 for his birthday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x denotes the money Mr. Scruggs received for his birthday.
Given : He spent 1/5 of it on dog treats.
i.e. Money he spent on dog treats =@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@
Remaining money = @@MATH_TOKEN_2@@
Since he divided the he divided the remainder equally among his 3 favorite charities.
⇒ Money each charity received = @@MATH_TOKEN_3@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@
∴ Fraction of money each charity received @@MATH_TOKEN_5@@
If he donated $60 to each charity , then
\(\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{4x}{15}=60\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{60\times15}{4}=15\times15=225\)
∴ He received $225 for his birthday.
