\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the question is: Rita spends 28% of her ernings in paying taxes, while 70% of the remaining is spent on her living expensese. If she is left with $7560, what was her income (in $) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I calculated:
\n" ); document.write( "0,28x on food and 100-28 = 72, which means 0,7 * 0,72 = 0,504x on Rita's living expenses. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, $7560 = 1x - (0,28x + 0,504x )
\n" ); document.write( " = 1x - 0,784x
\n" ); document.write( " = 0,216x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=> x = 7560/ 0,216 = $35000, my classmates keep saying it is wrong :(\r
