Jake is from a conservative household so during lunch at school one day, he gave one-quarter of his feeding allowance to a hungry friend. If candies cost 20 cents apiece and Jake's feeding allowance is $4, how many candies can his friend purchase with the money Jake gave to him?
One quarter of $4 is (1/4)*$4 = $<<(1/4)*4=1>>1
$1 is equivalent to 100 cents
20 cents will buy 1 candy so 100 cents will buy 100/20 = <<100/20=5>>5 candies
