Mary spent $15. If this was 20% of her earrings, how much money did she earned?

Mathematics

Hi, I'm happy to help!

First off, we need to arrange an equation for what is being asked. 15 is 20% of her earnings and we don't know her total earnings.

15=20%×__

We can write this percentage as

15=0.2×__

We then change the equation to do the inverse operation, which is division, this makes it easier to solve.

15÷0.2=__

Now, we solve

15÷0.2=75

<u>She earned $75</u>

<u></u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Please solve, thank you (and show steps):<br><br>Solve for x:<br><br>5x + 22 = 27​
IrinaVladis [17]
Given the equation, 5x + 22 = 27:

The goal is to isolate the variable. Hence, a few mathematical operations are necessary to solve for the value of x.

Start by subtracting 22 both sides:
5x + 22 - 22 = 27 - 22
5x + 0 = 5
5x = 5


Next, divide both sides by 5 to isolate and solve for the value of x:

5x/5 = 5/5

x = 1

In order to verify whether x = 1 satisfies the give equation, we must substitute its value into the given equation:

5x + 22 = 27

5(1) + 22 = 27
5 + 22 = 27
27 = 27 (True statement. This implies that x = 1 is the correct value that satisfies the equation).

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.
