Question

tim spent 1/4 of his savings on a gift. He spent $24.How much money did he have in his savings before buying the gift? Let s represent the amount in his savings

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the amount in his savings be s.

Amount of money he spent on the gift- ¼ of his savings.

And,the amount that he spent on gift was $24.

ATQ,

¼of his savings = $24

¼ of s = $24

s = 24÷ ¼

= 24× $\frac{4}{1} = 96$

Hence, his total before he brought the gift was $96.

Answer 2

Let the total savings be s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{4}\:of\:s=24$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{1}{4}s=24$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=24(4)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=\ 96$
