Question 821138
Please help me with the equation: Each month, Sophie spends 8/24 of her monthly income on rent. Her car payment is $300, which is 1/3 as much as her rent. What is Sophie's annual income?
-------------
Let her monthly salary be "x":
Equations:
rent = (1/3)x
(1/3)rent = 300
rent = 3*300 = 900
-------
x = 3*rent = 3*900 = $2700
