Question

Paul's budget for food is 30% of the budget he has for rent
If his budget for food is $225, what is his budget for rent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let budget for rent is $ X.

so budget for food =

$x \times \frac{30}{100} = \frac{3}{10} x$

a/q

$\frac{3}{10} x = 225$

$x = \frac{225 \times 10}{3} = 750$

so budget for rent is $750.

Answer 2

Answer:

His budget for rent is $750

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

We assume the budget of rent of paul be $x$

Since, the 30% of budget of rent is $225

So, we can write:

$0.3x=225\\x=\frac{225}{0.3}\\ x=750$

Hence, His budget for rent is $750
