Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

he spent 75% of his savings to buy a camera that costs 325....

so 75% of his original savings is 325

let x represent his original savings...." of " means multiply.." is " means equals

75%(x) = 325....turn ur percent into a decimal

0.75x = 325.....divide both sides by 0.75

x = 325 / 0.75

x = 433.33 <=== ur answer

check...

0.75(433.33) = 325

324.99 (rounds to 325) = 325
