Will mark brainliest! - Margo spends 0.25 of her paycheck on a new dress, 1/8 of her paycheck on shoes, and $24 on a birthday present. If she spent $60 altogether, how much was Margo’s paycheck?

A. $96
B. $160
C. $216
D. $504

Respuesta :

the answer is a. $96
I plugged in each number
equation is x(.125+.25)+24=60
you have spent 25% of her paycheck (25% = 1/4. Which is (1/4)x )
you have spent 1/8 of her paycheck ( (1/8)x ).
you have spent $24.

The formula would then be: (1/4)x + (1/8)x + $24 = $60 spent

You would then follow this representation to get x:

x = $96
