Question

If Elena were to give Bonnie $20\%$ of her money, If Bonnie has 60.00$ less than Elena, how much money, in dollars, does Elena have now?

Answer 1

Given: Elena gives $20\%$ to Bonnie

Let $x$ be the money that Elena initially had

$⟹$ Bonnie gets $\frac{1}{5}x$ $\left(20\%\right)$

Elena would have $\frac{4}{5}x$

$\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}x=60$

$⟹x=100$

$\therefore$ Elena has $100$.
