Question #21b22

Answer 1

Julia deposited $108.24 in her checking account.
This is 60% of the remaining money.
It follows then, that 1% of the remaining money equals
`"$108.24"/60` = $1.804.
So all of the remainder is `100 (%)` x `$1.804 = $180.40`
this remainder was 80% of the smount of her paycheck.
The money she put in her savings account was 20% of the paycheck.

if 80% of the paycheck is $180.40, then 10% of it is

`"$180.40"/8 = $22.55`

Therefore, 20% of the paycheck, the amount she put in her savings account is 2x 10% = 2 x $22.55 = $45.10
