His older son was givin 50% of the winnings. 25% was givin oto his daughter Jane. Gary would get 20% and Jodi would get $700.
How much did Mr. Lucky win in the lottery.
50 + 25 + 20 = 95
Jodi received 5% of the winnings.
Now, let x equal the total that Mr. Lucky won.
0.05x = 700

2mi.=___ ft.
1mile=5280 feet, so 2 miles=5280X2.
To find out the total amount Mr. Lucky won in the lottery, we can work backwards from the information given.
Let's start by finding the portion of the winnings that each child received:
- The older son received 50% of the winnings.
- Jane received 25% of the winnings.
- Gary received 20% of the winnings.
- Jodi received $700.
Adding up the percentages:
50% + 25% + 20% = 95%
So, we know that 95% of the winnings were distributed among the children. To find out the total amount, we need to find out what is the remaining 5%.
To calculate the remaining 5%:
100% - 95% = 5%
We know that the remaining 5% is equal to $700 because Jodi received this amount. To calculate the value of 1%, we divide $700 by 5:
$700 / 5 = $140
Now that we know the value of 1%, we can calculate the total amount Mr. Lucky won in the lottery. To find the total, we can divide the remaining 100% by 1% and then multiply by $140:
($140 / 1%) x 100% = $14,000
Therefore, Mr. Lucky won $14,000 in the lottery.
