    To find the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away, you need to know how much she gave the son. Because the ratio of the money given is 5:6, the amount of money he received has to be 5/6 of the money the daughter received.

    So, the son received 5/6 of 2400.

    To find this, multiply 5/6 x 2400 to get 2000.

    The daughter received 2400 and the son received 2000, so the total amount Mrs. Johnson gave away is 4400 dollars.
