Question number 3 : Twenty percent of Mrs.Reynold's monthly earnings is budgeted for food. If $ 156.00 goes for food , what are her total monthly earnings ?

☄
`\underline{ \underline{ \sf{Solution}}}:`

• Let her total monthly earnings be ' x '

Now , According to question , Set up an equation and solve for x :

`\tt{20\% \: of \: x \: = \: 156.00}`

⤑
`\tt{ (20)/(100) x = 156}`

⤑
`\sf{ (1)/(5) x = 156}`

⤑
`\tt{x = 156 * 5}`

⤑
`\boxed{ \sf{x = \$ \: 780}}`

`\boxed{ \boxed{ \red{ \tt{ \: her \: monthly \: earnings \: is \: \$ \: 780}}}}`

Question number 4 : Marie bought a skirt on sale of 25% off . If she saved $ 9.75 , what was the original price of the skirt ?

☄
`\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :`

• Discount percent = 25 %
• Discount amount = $ 9.75
• Let the Original price of a skirt be ' x '.

Set up an equation and solve for x :

`\sf{discount \: percent \: of \: original \: price \: = \: discount \: amount}`

`\tt{25\% \: of \: x = 9.75}`

⤑
`\tt{ (25)/(100) x = 9.75}`

⤑
`\tt{ (1)/(4) x = 9.75}`

⤑
`\tt{x = 9.75 * 4}`

⤑
`\tt{x = \$ \: 39}`

`\boxed{ \boxed{ \red{ \sf{The \: original \: price \: of \: the \: skirt \: is \: \$ \: 39.}}}}`

And we're done !
