Question

James won $500 for an art competition. He gave 1 of his earnings to a local charity. How much 5money did James give to the charity? Use mental math to determine the answer. Responses A $100.00$100.00 B $500.50$500.50 C $2,500.00$2,500.00 D $200.00

Answer 1

The question seems to have a typo when indicating the fraction of earnings James gave to charity. The fraction is missing in the statement; however, the answer choices suggest that it might be 1/5 of $500.

So if James gave away 1/5 of his $500 earnings to charity, we can calculate it as follows:

1/5 * $500 = $100

Using mental math, we can deduce that the correct answer is:
A) $100.00
