Question

Mallory has three dollars in her wallet if this is 10% of her monthly allowance what is her monthly allowance

Answer 1

$30.

Explanation:

Definition:

Allowance: A regular sum of money that is given by a parent or guardian to a child in each month.

Solution:

We can use the following formula to find the total amount of Mallory's monthly allowance:

`\sf \textsf{ Percentage of allowance saved} * \textsf{ Total allowance = Amount saved}`

In this case, we know that Mallory has saved $3, which is 10% of her monthly allowance.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

`\sf 10\% * \textsf{ Amount saved} = 3`

`\sf 0.10 * \textsf{ Amount saved} = 3`

Divide both sides by 0.10.

`\sf \textsf{ Amount saved} = (3)/(0.10)`

`\sf \textsf{ Amount saved} = 30`

Therefore, Mallory's monthly allowance is $30.
