Thaddeus shakes his head as he pays $12.37 to the clerk for lunch. Complaining to a friend, Thaddeus says, “Do you realize that

is 0.2% of my monthly income?” His friend replies, “I think you made a mistake. That should be 2%. You messed up on the decimal point.” (a) Assuming Thaddeus is not wrong, what is his monthly income? (b) If Thaddeus’ friend is correct, what is Thaddeus’ monthly income?

a)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 0.2% of that is 12.37.

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&0.2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{0.2}\implies 0.2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{0.2}\implies x=61.85

b)

his income must be "x" which is the 100%, and we would know that 2% of that is 12.37.

\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 12.37&2 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{12.37}=\cfrac{100}{2}\implies 2x=1237 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{1237}{2}\implies x=618.5

btw he's not making much either way.
