Question

Rachel budgeted $76.50 for school clothes. This is 0.45 of her total budget. How much does Rachel have her total budget?

Answer 1

Let her total budget = x

0.45 x = 76.5     Divide by 0.45

0.45 x / 0.45 = 76.5 / 0.45

x = 170 dollars. I'm using a calculator. Are you allowed to do that?
