Question

If Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring, how much did she spend on furniture?

Answer 1

Answer:

Charlotte spent   $x + 0.25x$ on furniture

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charlotte spent 25% more on furniture than she will on flooring

To Find:

Amount spent on furniture = ?

Solution:

Let the amount spent on flooring be x

and the amount spent on furniture be y

25% more on furniture than she spent on flooring can be written as

=>25% of x

So the cost spent on furniture will be

=>y= cost spent on flooring +  25% of cost spent on flooring

=>y= x + 25% of x

=>y=$x + \frac{25}{100} \times x$

=> y=$x + 0.25x$
