Question

If Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring, how much did she spend on furniture?

Answer 1

Charlotte spent
`x + 0.25x` on furniture

Explanation:

Given:

Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring

To Find:

Amount spent on furniture = ?

Solution:

Let the amount spent on flooring be x

and the amount spent on furniture be y

25% more on furniture than she spent on flooring can be written as

=>25% of x

So the cost spent on furniture will be

=>y= cost spent on flooring + 25% of cost spent on flooring

=>y= x + 25% of x

=>y=
`x + (25)/(100) * x`

=> y=
`x + 0.25x`
