Three families shared the cost of purchasing a $5,000 generator. the martins paid 1/3 of the cost and the millers paid 40% and the browns paid the rest how much did the brown pay

The amount Paid by Brown for generator =$ 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of generator purchasing = $5,000

Millers paid 40% of the total cost of generator,

i.e 40% of $5,000

Or, 0.4 × 5,000

Or, $2,000

So, Millers paid amount = $2,000

So,. rest amount is now = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000

Again, Martins paid of $ 3,000

Or Martin paid amount = $1,000

Now, Again rest amount = $3,000 - $1,000 = $2,000

Now as per question, Brown paid the rest amount,

Hence Brown paid the rest amount for generator = $2,000   Answer
