PLS HELP, PLS LIKE I NEED THIS DONE RN- THANKYOU IF U HELP ME, ALSO U WILL GET 5 STARS!!!

Chris was standing at the cash register when he realized he was $1.20 short. He was buying a mouse and a mousepad. He realized the mouse cost 95% of his money, and the mousepad cost 15% of his money. How much does the mouse cost, and how much does the mousepad cost?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is
the mouse costs about/around $1.14
and the mouse pad costs $0.18

Explanation:

equation for mouse pad:

the output value is $1.20
and x=15%

equation template:
`(1.20)/(x)= (100)/(15)`
using the reciprocal of both sides gives:
`(x)/(1.20) = (15)/(100)`

Therefore, 15% of $1.20 is $0.18

Equation for Mouse:

the output value is 1.20

and x=95%

Equation template:
`(1.20)/(x) =(100)/(95)`
Using the reciprocal of both sides gives:
`(x)/(1.20) =(95)/(100)`

Therefore, 95% of $1.20 is $1.14

i hope this helps you :>
