Pam’s monthly food budget is equal to 40% of her monthly rent payment. If her food budget is $200 a month, how much is her rent payment each month?

Sagot :

so we know that 40% for the rent payment is for food, and we also know that those 40% are really 200 bucks, so what would it be for the 100%?

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} \%&amount\\ \cline{1-2} 40 & 200\\ 100& x \end{array} \implies \cfrac{40}{100}=\cfrac{200}{x}\implies \cfrac{2}{5}=\cfrac{200}{x} \\\\\\ 2x=1000\implies x=\cfrac{1000}{2}\implies x=500[/tex]
