Answer 2

Chandra spent 2/5 of her income of January for rent, and 3/4 of the remainder on other expenses.If she put the remaining $180 in her savings account, how much was her income in January?  

let the income be x  

rent 2/5 *x

remaing amount = 3/4(x- 2/5*x)  

2/5 *x + 3/4(x-2/5*x) +180 =x  

2/5*x +3/4* (5x-2x/5) +180= x  

2x/5 + 9x/20 +180=x  

(8x+9x-20x)/20= -180

-3x= -3600  

x= -3600/-3 = 1200  

the income is $1200

hope its help you
