Question

Jada had a monthly budget for her cell phone bill. Last month she spent 120% of her budget, and the bill was $60. What is Jadas monthly budget? What's the answer to this question?

Answer 1

Jada´s monthly budget for her cell phone bill is 50 dollars.

Last month she spent 120% of her budget on this bill. If she had spent only 100% she would have spent 50 dollars but she spent 20% more over her budget. 5 dollars is 10% of her monthly budget so she paid 10 dollars more making it a total of 60 dollars.
