Last month, Steven had $4285.68 that he divided into two accounts. He deposited 1/3 into a savings account. He deposited the rest into his checking account.
How much money did Steven deposit into his checking account?
4285.68 / 3 = 1428.56 (You divide by 3 since Steven deposited a third into his savings account. You're trying to find out how much a third is.)
4285.68 - 1428.56 = 2857.12 (You subtract a third from the total because after Steven deposited a third, there are two thirds left, and you're trying to figure out how much that two thirds is since it went into his checking)
