Let the amount of money be M,
then Mr.Scruggs spent 1/5M on dog treats, and so 4/5M was left.
4/5M was equally divided in 3 parts among his favourite charities, so each of these received:
[tex] \frac{ \frac{4}{5}M }{3}=\frac{4}{5}M* \frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{15}M[/tex]
i) each charity received 4/15 of the money.
ii)
[tex]\frac{4}{15}M=$60[/tex]
4M=15*60
M=15*15
M= 225 (dollars).
Check: 4/5(225)=4*45=180, 180/3=60
