Question

Alexis and Tosha challenged each other to a typing test. Alexis typed 54 words in one minute, which was 120% of the Tasha typed. How many words to Tasha type in one minute?

Answer 1

words of Tasha = A
A x 120/100=54
simplify 120/100=6/5
A x 6/5=54
divide both side by 6/5
A=54/(6/5)
A=54x5/6
A=45
Tasha typed 45 words
