Answer:

$70000

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we need to convert the fractions into common denominators so we can get his total donated portion. From here, we can set up a proportion to fin his total income.

The greatest common denominator of 5 and 7 is 35. So

1/5 = 7/35. && 1/7 = 5/35

Add those together to get 7+5 = 12/35

So he gave away 12/35 of his income.

Now we set up a proportion to find his total.

35 / 12 = x / 24000

And now we solve for x:

x = (24000 * 35) / 12

x = 70000

So Mr. Pollard made $70000.

We can verify this by saying 24000 / 70000 to get the same reduced fraction 12/35.

Cheers.

Answer:

$70000

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]church + medical \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{7} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{12}{35} [/tex]

He gave away combined $24000 both,

So,

[tex] \frac{12}{35} =24000[/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{35} = \frac{24000}{12} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2000[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex] \frac{35}{35} = 2000 \times 35 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 70000[/tex]
