My wife spent 24percent of her salary on transportation, she then spent 25percent of her remaining salary on rent, if her balance at hand is 1710 dollars, how much did she spent on transportation?
**
let x=total salary
.24x=amt spent on transportation
(x-.24x)=.76x=remaining amt
.25*.76x=.19=amt spent on rent
x-.24x-.19x=1710
x-.43x=1710
.57x=1710
x=3000
.24x=720
amt spent on transportation=720 dollars
