Jane spent 9% of her savings on a downpayment for a car.
\n" ); document.write( " If she paid $1599, how much in savings does she have?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt she has in her savings originally
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for just what it says
\n" ); document.write( ".09x = 1599
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by .09
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1599%2F.09\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $17,766.67, originally
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We want to know how much in her savings account now (after taking out $1599)
\n" ); document.write( "17766.67 - 1599 = 16,167.67 in her saving account now \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
