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

Which equation models this problem?
Vladimir [108]
C. 5/6b = 140
(*assuming b = total number of cards)
If the piles have an equal number of cards and 5 out of the 6 piles were put in the collection, 5/6 of the cards were put into the collection. The total number of cards put in the collection is 140, so 5/6b=140.
