Question

Last month, Alex spent 40% of his salary on a laptop. He then spent 30% of it on his bills and saved the remaining $1,200. What was his salary?

Answer 1

$2,184

Explanation:

$1,200 x .30 = 360

$1,200 + $360 = $1,560

$1,560 x .40 = 624

$1,560 + $624 = His Salary that month: $2,184

Answer 2

$1,200 x .30 = 360
$1,200 + $360 = $1,560
$1,560 x .40 = 624
$1,560 + $624 = His Salary that month: $2,184
