A shopper has $199.68 to spend
The shopper uses coupons and usuially saves 22% of the total bill.
How much worth of groceries can she purchase with the $199.68 she has?
The problem maybe looks like this:
X - (.22 * X) = 199.68
but how do I go backwards to get the X ???
e.g. 256.00 - (.22 * 256.00) = 199.68
how do you use the 199.68, and the .22 (percent) to find the value for X?
Thanks in advance
God bless you
