<PRE><B>Question 696338</B>
Karthik spent $35 of his allowance and gave $5 to a charity. If the number of dollars he spends is proportional to the number of dollars he gives to charitt, how much of a $100-allowance will he give to a charity?
-----
x/100 = 5/35
----
x = (100)(5/35)
---
x = 100(1/7)
---
x = $14.29
