Question

Jill, an employee at Old Navy, budgets 18 of her yearly salary for clothing. Jill's total clothing bill for the year is $8,180. What is her yearly salary?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 45,444.44

Explanation:

Given: Jill budgets 18% of her yearly salary for clothing.

His total clothing bill for the year is $8,180.

Let x= her yearly salary

Then according to the question , we have

18% of x = 8180

Convert 18% into decimal by dividing it by 100 , we get

0.18 x= 8180

Multiply both sides by 100

⇒ 18x = 818000

Divide both sides by 18 , we get

x= 45444.44

Hence, her yearly salary = $ 45,444.44
