Question

Shaniqua is 25% less money than her older sister Jennifer Shaniqua has $180 how much does Jennifer have

Answer 1

Answer:

Jennifer have $240.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Shaniqua is 25% less money than her older sister Jennifer.

Let Jennifer have x dollars.

Shaniqua have = (x - 25% of x) dollars

It is given that Shaniqua has $180.

$x-\dfrac{25}{100}\times x=180$

$x-0.25x=180$

$0.75x=180$

Divide both sides by 0.75.

$x=\dfrac{180}{0.75}$

$x=240$

Therefore, Jennifer have $240.
