I typically give 12% of money I receive to my church. My uncle died recently and left me some money. I donated $408 to my church in his memory. How much did he leave to me in his will?

Respuesta :

your uncle left you with "x" total, which is the 100%, now, we also know that 408 is 12% of that, so

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x & 100\\ 408& 12 \end{array} \implies \cfrac{x}{408}=\cfrac{100}{12}\implies \cfrac{x}{408}=\cfrac{25}{3} \\\\\\ 3x=10200\implies x=\cfrac{10200}{3}\implies x=3400[/tex]
