Question

June gave $500 to her mother and 40% of the remaining to her father. If 55% of her salary was given away, how much was her salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

Salary of June = $3300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let June's salary = 100x

As given , June spent 55% of his salary

⇒ June spent = $\frac{55}{100}$×100x = 55x

As given , June gave 40% of the remaining to her father

⇒June gave money to her father = $\frac{40}{100}$×100x = 40x

Now , the equation becomes

$500 + 40x = 55x

⇒$500  = 55x - 40x

⇒$500 = 15x

⇒ x = $$\frac{500}{15}$ = $33.33 ≈ $33

So, the salary of June = 100(33) = $3300
