Question

Bad Investment After Mrs. Fisher lost 9% of her investment, she had $22,750. What was Mrs. Fisher's original investment?​

Answer 1

$2500

Explanation:

Given that,

The lost percentage = 9%

Amount she had = $22,750

We need to find Mrs. Fisher's original investment.

As she had lost 9%, it means she will remain with 91% of her investment. Let the original investment is x.

So,

`91\%\ of \ x=22,750\\\\(91)/(100)x=22,750\\\\x=(22,750* 100)/(91)\\\\x=\$25000`

So, her original investment is equal to $25000.
