Answer 1

Answer:

My total savings was = $58.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

12% of my savings was = $7.00

To find my total savings.

Solution:

Let the total savings in dollars be = $x$

12% of the total savings will be  = $12\%\ of\ x$

12% of my savings was = $7.00

So, we have:

$12\%\ of\ x=7$

$0.12x=7$

Solving for $x$ to get my total savings.

Dividing both sides by 0.12

$\frac{0.12x}{0.12}=\frac{7}{0.12}$

∴ $x=58.33$

Thus, my total savings was = $58.33
