Question

Linda spent 3/4 of her saving on furniture and the rest on a tv.If the tv cost her $200,what were her original savings .

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of savings

`(3)/(4)` of savings minus tv equals zero

`(3)/(4)x` - 200 = 0

`(3)/(4)x` = 200

3x = 4(200)

`x = (4(200))/(3)`

x = 266.67

Answer: $266.67
