Question

Vita saved $72 last December. This amount represent 2/9 of the total amount she saved last year. What is the total amount vita saved last year?

Answer 1

Let's call the total amount Vita saved last year "T." According to the information given:

$72 = (2/9) * T

To find the total amount Vita saved last year (T), you can isolate T by multiplying both sides of the equation by (9/2) to undo the fraction:

T = (9/2) * $72

T = (9/2) * $72

T = $36 * 9

T = $324

So, the total amount Vita saved last year was $324.
