Answer 2

Answer:

Mary's weekly income is $200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Mary's weekly income.

It is given that Mary spends only 5% of her weekly income on entertainment.

Total amount she spends on entertainment is

$Expense=x\times \frac{5}{100}=0.05x$

It is also given that she usually spends about $10.00.

$0.05x=10$

Divide both sides by 0.05.

$\frac{0.05x}{0.05}=\frac{10}{0.05}$

$x=200$

Therefore, Mary's weekly income is $200.
