The question was not stated correctly, this should be the correctly stated question;

Michael Made $265 taking care of his neighbors pets this summer. This was five times the amount. He made last summer how much money did Michael make taking care of pets last summer?

The correct answer is $53.

Explanation:

Let the amount he made last year be "A".

The statement in the question said Michael made 5 times more money taking care of pets presently than he did last year, which means that he earned more money now than he did last summer by a difference of 5 times. Therefore we will divide his present amount by 5 to get what he earned last summer.

∴ 265 = 5 × A

265 = 5A

5A = 265

∴ A = 265 ÷ 5 = $53

Therefore, last summer, Michael made $53.

If on the other hand we were told that the present money made is 5 times lesser than what he made last summer, we would multiply his present earning by 5, to get 5 times more.
