Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a person saves 30% of his salary and his savings amount to $600, what is his total salary?
Correct Answer: 2000
  • Step 1: Understand that the person saves 30% of his salary.
  • Step 2: Let the total salary be represented by the variable x.
  • Step 3: Write the equation for the savings: 30% of x equals $600.
  • Step 4: Convert 30% to a decimal: 30% = 0.3.
  • Step 5: Rewrite the equation: 0.3x = 600.
  • Step 6: To find x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.3: x = 600 / 0.3.
  • Step 7: Calculate the division: 600 divided by 0.3 equals 2000.
  • Step 8: Conclude that the total salary is $2000.
  • Percentage Calculation – Understanding how to calculate a total from a given percentage of that total.
