Question

Bad Investment After Mrs. Fisher lost 9% of her investment, she had $22,750. What was Mrs. Fisher's original investment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The lost percentage = 9%

Amount she had = $22,750

We need to find Mrs. Fisher's original investment.

As she had lost 9%, it means she will remain with 91% of her investment. Let the original investment is x.

So,

$91\%\ of \ x=22,750\\\\\dfrac{91}{100}x=22,750\\\\x=\dfrac{22,750\times 100}{91}\\\\x=\ 25000$

So, her original investment is equal to $25000.
