Answer:
$275
Step-by-step explanation:
So she put $60 into savings....
X is the amount of her paycheck...
after buying the clothes she had X-75
She spend (2/5)(x-75) on books
The amount deposited into saving and spent on groceries totals 120.
So
X = 75 + (2/5)(x-75) + 120
X = (2/5)(X-75) + 195
X = (2/5)X - 30 + 195
X = (2/5)X + 165
(3/5)X = 165
X = 165*5/3 = 5*55 = 275
Starts with 275
spent 75 on clothes, which makes it 200.
2/5 of 200 is 80, which makes it 120.
60 deposited into savings and 60 on groceries
Her paycheck was 275
