Question

Maggie had $4 in her wallet. If this is 16% of her monthly allowance, wha is her monthly allowance?

Answer 1

Answer:

$25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her monthly allowance be M.

=> M x 16% = 4

=> M = 4 x 25 / 4

=> M = 25

Maggie's monthly allowance is $25

Answer 2

$4 = 16% of her monthly allowance

4 divided by 16 = $0.25

$0.25 = 1% of her monthly allowance

$0.25 • 100 = $25

Maggie’s monthly allowance is $25.
