Answer 1

To calculate how much is left to give to other charities, we first need to find out how much Mr. O’Donnell donated to the Red Cross.

He gave 2/5 of his $500 budget, so he donated 2/5 * $500 = $<<2/5*500=200>>200 to the Red Cross.

The remainder is $500 - $200 = $<<500-200=300>>300.

Now we need to find out how much Mr. O’Donnell donated to Special Olympics.

He donated 1/3 of the remainder, so he donated 1/3 * $300 = $<<1/3*300=100>>100 to Special Olympics.

Therefore, the amount left to give to other charities is $300 - $100 = $<<300-100=200>>200. Answer: \boxed{200}.
