Question

Kayla is give a monthly allowance. She puts 40% of the money directly into her savings account. She spends $15 at the movies with her friends. At the end of the month, she has $3 left. How much is her monthly allowance?

Answer 1

£30
This is because if she has put 40% in to savings she has 60% left. This 60% is 15 + 3 (the money she spent at the movies and the money she has left) = £18
So 60% : £18
10% : £3 (divide by 6)
100% : £30 (multiply by 100)
