Question

Julia spent $28 of her babysitting earnings on earrings. The $28 was 35% of her babysitting earnings. How much had julia earned from babysitting

Answer 1

$28 represents 35% of her earnings.

To find the total earnings of Julia, we need to find 100% of her earnings.

Step 1. Find how much is 1% of her earnings by dividing $28 by 35%:

`(28)/(35)=0.8`

$0.8 is 1% of her earnings.

Step 2. Multiply the result from step 1 by 100 to find 100% of her earning:

`0.8*100=80`

Julia earns $80 from babysitting.

Answer: $80
