Answer:

B) $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so first you want to take the total amount of money made :

$128

Next you want to find 25% of this number (or 1/4) and subtract it from the total.

So :

128 / 4 = 32

So now we take 128 and subtract 32. (32 = 1/4 or 25% of 128)

128 - 32 = 96

Ken now has $96 left over after spending money on games.

So now that we have this number we need to find 1/6 of it because he took 1/6 of the money after he bought games and put it towards charity.

So :

96 / 6 = 16

16 is equal to 1/6 of his leftover money after games and is the amount the charity received.

B) $16

I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

B) $16

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First let's find how much he spent on games. Multiply 0.25 to 188. 0.25 x 128 = 32.

2. Now subtract that amount from the original $128.  128 - 32. = 96.

3. Then, multiply 1/6 from 96. 1/6 x 96 = 16. This $16 is the amount the charity will receive.
