Question

Jill has $66 deducted from her paycheck each week for health insurance. This amounts to 15% of her gross income. What is her gross income?

Answer 1

$440

Explanation:

n is her gross income, and we'll convert 15% to a decimal by dividing by 100

n x 0.15 = 66

0.15n = 66

divide both sides by 0.15

n = 440
