Answer:

Explanation:

so we are told that he deposited 7/9 of his money. that mean the remaining is 2/9. because 9/9 - 7/9 = 2/9 get it?

we are also told that 2.50 = 2/9 of his pay

so use that info to find the total pay

also using my calculator tells me that 2/9 = 0.22222222222222222222

knowing that, we can divide 2.50 by 0.222222222222

2.50 / 0.2222222222 = 11.25

we now know that 2.50 is 0.222 of 11.25

if you want to check your answer just multiply 11.25 x .222222222 to see if you get 2.50

Do you understand?
