Answer 2

a. 80%

b. £34

c. £340

Explanation:

a. We are given that Mrs Trent spent 20% of her weekly wage on food. This means she would have 80% of her weekly wage left with her.

b. 10% of Mrs Trent weekly wage:

If 20% = £68

10% = (10*68)/20 = £34

c. Let x represent weekly wage of Mrs Trent

Given that she spends £68 of x (weekly wage) on food, which is 20% of x.

This means that, 20% of x = £68

Let's find her weekly wage, x:

`(20)/(100) * x = 68`

`0.2x = 68`

Divide both sides by 0.2

x = 340

Her weekly wage is £340.
