Question 360528
let x equal the paycheck amount
20%=.2
so .2x= amount of money going toward savings
x=100% so if u take 20% away you will have 80% left or .8
so .8x=remaing amount of paycheck
now 60% or .6 of remaining money means .6(.8x)=.48x
if she deposited that 60% and she says that total is 108.24 then:
{{{.48x=108.24}}}
solve for x by dividing by .48
{{{highlight(x=225.50)}}}
