Answer:
Dian has $250 originally.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total money Dian has originally = $S
Dian gave [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of her total money to Justin,
Money given to Justin = [tex]\frac{2}{5}(\text{S})[/tex]
Money left with Dian = S - [tex]\frac{2}{5}(\text{S})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{5S-2S}}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3S}{5}[/tex]
Since Dian has $150 left then the equation will be,
[tex]\frac{3S}{5}=150[/tex]
S = [tex]\frac{150\times 5}{3}[/tex]
S = $250
Therefore, Dian has $250 originally.
