Question

Jade has tax deducted from her income at the rate of 24%.

Last month, after tax had been deducted, $1786 of her income remained.
Calculate her income last month before the tax was deducted.​

Answer 1

$2350

Explanation:

Let Jade's total income be X

Therefore,the tax deducted was 24%x

Forming an equation:

X= 24%x + 1786

X = 0.24x + 1786

Collecting like terms

x - 0.24x = 1786

0.76x =1786

x= 1786 ÷0.76

X= $2350
