If Lyn donates $240 to a private organization each year where 1/3 of it goes to the community pantry project, 1/2 goes to the local crisis fund, 1/4 of the remaining goes to livelihood project funds, and the rest is for contingency funds. How much goes to contingency fund? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
The community pantry project gets 240 x 1 / 3 = $80. The local crisis fund has 240 x 1 / 2 = $120. The total funds allocated for the two funds is $80 + $120 = $200. So, $240 - $200 = $40 are left for the other 2 funds. The livelihood project gets $40 x 1 / 4 = $10. This means that the contingency fund is $40 - $10 = $30.
Therefore, the answer is 30.
