A new law requires that 12% of an individual's income be invested in the stock market. Your accounts show that you need to put $420 in the stock market this year. How much did you earn this year.
A $5,040
B $350
C $504**
D $3,500
This comment section is kinda depressing lmao. Middle school is a filler point of education preparing us to learn real stuff in high school. It’s basically pointless and only running our brains. I usually don’t condone cheating; i’m not saying the teachers are wasting their times either. But help is okay to be provided during this confusing and unimportant stage of our life’s. I’m open for criticism and new ideas<3
the answer is 3500
Aaarrggghhh! What a horrible law!
Your answer is obviously very wrong. 504 is not much more than 420. It is certainly NOT 12%.
0.12x = 420
Solve for x.
