sasha used 55% of her savings to buy a game. She has $135 remaining. How much was her savings before buying the game?
0.45x = 135
x = 300
To find out how much Sasha's savings were before buying the game, we need to work backwards using the given information.
Let's let "x" represent the amount of Sasha's savings before buying the game. We know that Sasha used 55% of her savings, so she spent 100% - 55% = 45% of her savings on the game.
We can calculate this as follows:
45% of x = $135
To find the value of 45% of x, we can use the formula:
Value = (Percentage/100) * Total
So, 45% of x = (45/100) * x = 0.45 * x
Now we can set up the equation:
0.45 * x = $135
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.45:
x = $135 / 0.45
x ≈ $300
Therefore, Sasha's savings before buying the game was approximately $300.
