Question

Stephen spends 10% of his salary on food, 15% of it on transportation, and saves the remaining 2000. what is his salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

His salary is $2666.68

Step-by-step explanation:

First add the percent of the costs.       10% + 15% = 25%

Then subtract 25% from 100% to find the percentage that 2,000 is of the total salary.                                                           100% - 25% = 75%

$2,000 is 75% of the total salary. Divide 2,000 by three to find the amount of money 25% of the salary is. ( 75% is 3/4 of 100)                                                         2,000 divided by 3 = $666.67

25% of the salary is $666.67

Multiple that by 4 and you get the total salary.

666.67•4= $2666.68

Are you sure those were all the correct numbers because that was not a very nice number at the end there lol but that answer is correct with the numbers you gave me.
