Question number 3 : Twenty percent of Mrs.Reynold's monthly earnings is budgeted for food. If $ 156.00 goes for food , what are her total monthly earnings ?

☄ $\underline{ \underline{ \sf{Solution}}}:$

• Let her total monthly earnings be ' x '

Now , According to question , Set up an equation and solve for x :

$\tt{20\% \: of \: x \: = \: 156.00}$

⤑ $\tt{ \frac{20}{100} x = 156}$

⤑ $\sf{ \frac{1}{5} x = 156}$

⤑ $\tt{x = 156 \times 5}$

⤑ $\boxed{ \sf{x = \ \: 780}}$

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \red{ \tt{ \: her \: monthly \: earnings \: is \: \ \: 780}}}}$

Question number 4 : Marie bought a skirt on sale of 25% off . If she saved $ 9.75 , what was the original price of the skirt ?

☄$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :$

• Discount percent = 25 %
• Discount amount = $ 9.75
• Let the Original price of a skirt be ' x '.

Set up an equation and solve for x :

$\sf{discount \: percent \: of \: original \: price \: = \: discount \: amount}$

$\tt{25\% \: of \: x = 9.75}$

⤑ $\tt{ \frac{25}{100} x = 9.75}$

⤑ $\tt{ \frac{1}{4} x = 9.75}$

⤑ $\tt{x = 9.75 \times 4}$

⤑ $\tt{x = \ \: 39}$

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \red{ \sf{The \: original \: price \: of \: the \: skirt \: is \: \ \: 39.}}}}$

And we're done !
