Question

after spending 80% of her daily allowance, Ola found out she had 25k left. How much was her total allowance?

Answer 1

Answer:

242999.20

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the total become.

hence, x-80/100 = 25000

100x-80= 2500000

x=24999920/100

x=249999.50

Answer 2

Your answer is 31,250. The explanation is as follows:

We can say that 80% of her allowance is 25,000 [25 k = 25,000]

Then,

80% = $\frac{25000\\}{x}$ * 100.

Therefore, x = $\frac{25000 * 100}{80}$

x = $\frac{25000*5}{4}$

x = $\frac{6250 * 5}{1}$

x = 31,250
