So to find this out let's start by finding out what 1/5 is equal to in this problem.

To do that we will divide the total by 5. 2325.35/5 = 465.07 We now know that 1/5 equals 465.07

We know that he put 2/5 in his savings which means he put 3/5 into his checking (2/5 + 3/5 = 5/5 or the whole sum of money)

So if we know that 1/5 is equal to 465.07 and he put in 3/5 we need to multiply 465.07 by 3.

465.07 * 3 = $1395.21 This is how much was put in his checking account
