Question

HELPP(David saves 12 % of his monthly salary.

If he saves $17.75, what is his monthly
salary?)​

Answer 1

147.92

Explanation:

Let the monthly salary be x

He saves 12 % and that is 17.75

x* 12% = 17.75

Change to decimal form

x *.12 = 17.17

Divide each side by .12

x*.12 /.12 = 17.75/.12

x =147.91666666

Rounding to the nearest cent

x = 147.92
