Question 305631: I have a word problem I can not figure out how to set up. Hope you might be able to help.
Lisa invested in corn. She lost 5% of her investment, costing her $110. What was her initial investment? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's call her investment x.
5% of x is $110
.05*x=110
5x/100=110
x/20=110
x=20*110
I will leave the final multiplication for you.
Why should I have all the fun?
