Question 29707: Hey, I have been trying to figure out this problem, but i'm Stumped.
Jalisha invested some money and made an 8% profit. The current value of her investment is $1,296. How much did she invest initially?

Let Jalisha invest a $100
8% profit implies $8
Total amount = 108
So a $100 investment gives $108
How much of an investment will give 1296??

So Jalisha's initial investment = $1200
