Kanchan had 1250. She gave 25z to her mother and the remaining was shared equally among her four children. How much did each child receive?

Options

A. 250z
B. `1250-(25z)/(4)`
C. `(1250-25z)`
D. `(1250-25z)/(4)`

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions:

1. **Identify the total amount Kanchan had**: Kanchan had a total of 1250.

2. **Subtract the amount given to her mother**: Kanchan gave 25z to her mother. We need to subtract this amount from the total amount she had.
\[ \text{Remaining amount} = 1250 - 25z \]

3. **Divide the remaining amount among her four children**: The remaining amount is to be shared equally among her four children. To find out how much each child receives, we will divide the remaining amount by 4.
\[ \text{Amount each child receives} = \frac{1250 - 25z}{4} \]

4. **Final expression**: The final expression for the amount each child receives is:
\[ \text{Amount each child receives} = \frac{1250 - 25z}{4} \]

Now, if we want to calculate the exact amount each child receives, we need to know the value of z.
