5/14 = 17.50 so $49?

5 / 7 = 0.7 so $17.50 = 70% of total so 10% = $2.5 so 30% = $7.5 + $17.50 = $25

then she donated $8.75

$45
half of seven = 17.50
17.50 x 2 = 35
35/7 = 5
5 x 2 = 10
10 + 35 = 45- seventh, not sevencannonball1978
- you can't divide 35 by 7 parts. it's only 5 parts of the whole********

wait no

$49
half of fifth = 17.50
17.50 x 2 = 35
35/5 = 7
7 x 2 = 14
14 + 35 = 49

Kelsey spent 2/7 of the skrill at Claire's. 5/7 was left. case closed. if all that is left is $17.50 it started out as $25. then her mom said donate half of what you got left there Kelsey goddamit, right now. Which was a measly $8.75.
- $24.50 / 7 = 3.5********
