Bella spent 15% of her paycheck at the mall, and 40% of that was spent at the movie theater. Bella spent a total of $13.74 at the movie ticket, popcorn, and a soft drink. How much was in Bella’s paycheck?

Respuesta :

Bella spent $13.74 at the movies, so 40% of 15% = 13.74

13.74 / 0.4 (40%) = 34.35

Bella's 15% of her paycheck is $34.35

That means we need to find out what the 85% of her paycheck is. 

34.35 / 0.15 (15%)  = 229.

Bella's total paycheck is $229.

Hope this helps! Have a good day :)
