Question

Linda spent 3/4 of her saving on furniture and the rest on a tv.If the tv cost her $200,what were her original savings .

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of savings

$\frac{3}{4}$ of savings minus tv equals zero

$\frac{3}{4}x$ - 200 = 0

$\frac{3}{4}x$ = 200

3x = 4(200)

$x = \frac{4(200)}{3}$

x = 266.67

Answer: $266.67
