Question

Hana decides to buy her cat a bed from an online fund that gives $\frac{7}{8}$ of her purchase to shelters that care for animals. If the online price of a cat bed is $26.00. How much of Hana’s money went to the animal shelter?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Hana’s total money that went to the animal shelter is $22.75.

Step 1. Given information.

Hana decides to buy her cat a bed from an online fund that gives $\frac{7}{8}$ of her purchase to shelters that care for animals.

And the online price of a cat bed = $26.00

Step 2. Consider the variable.

Consider Hana’s money is $x that went to the animal shelter.

Step 3. Find the equation.

Since the online fund gives $\frac{7}{8}$ of the price of cat bed.

So,

$x=\frac{7}{8}\times \$26.00$

Step 4. Solve the equation.

Take the equation,

$x=\frac{7}{8}\times \$26.00$

Multiply the numbers 26 and 7.

$$\begin{gathered} x=\$\frac{182}{8} \\ =\$22.75 \end{gathered}$$
