Answer:
She typed 32 words in her letter
Explanation:
Assume that the letter has x words
∵ She typed x words in her letter
∵ She misspelled 8 words
∵ She misspelled 25% of the words she typed
∴ She misspelled 25% of x
→ That means 8 is equivalent to 25% of x
∴ 25% of x = 8
∴ 25% × x = 8
→ Change 25% to decimal by divide it by 100
∵ 25% = 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
∴ 0.25 × x = 8
∴ 0.25x = 8
→ Divide both sides by 0.25
∵
=
∴ x = 32
∵ x represents the number of words that she typed in the letter
∴ She typed 32 words in her letter
