Question

Jada has a monthly budget for her cell phone bill. Last month she spent 120% of her budget, and the bill was $60. What is Jada’s monthly budget? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

Jadas budget is 50$ hope this helped

Answer 2

Assume that the budget is n.
Now we are given that 120% of the budget is equal to $60.
This means that:
60 = 1.2n

Solve the equation for n to know the budget:
60 = 1.2n
n = 60 / 1.2 = 50

Based on the above calculations, Jada's budget is 50$
