Answer:
The amount is received is 80$
Step-by-step explanation:
For the above question, the ratio is given as:
Money saved : Money spent
2:3
The sum of the proportion = 2+3
= 5
Let the amount I received be represented as x
From the question, we were told that:
I saved 32$
Proportion for money saved = 2
Hence:
2/5 of x = 32$
2/5 × x = 32
2x /5 = 32
Cross Multiply
2x = 32 × 5
x = 32 × 5/2
x = 80$
Therefore, you received 80$ for your birthday
