Tiffany put a 30% deposit on a cake for her wedding. If her deposit was $120, how much more money does she owe for her wedding cake?
she still owes 70% ... 100% - 30%
70% / 30% = ? / $120
.30*Price=120
Price= 120/.3=360
how much left? Price-120
To find out how much more money Tiffany owes for her wedding cake, we need to calculate the total price of the cake first.
We know that Tiffany put a 30% deposit on the cake, so the deposit amount is 30% of the total price of the cake. We can set up an equation to find the total price:
30% of the total price = $120
To find the total price, we divide both sides of the equation by 30% (which is equivalent to dividing by 0.30):
(total price) = $120 / (0.30)
Calculating:
(total price) = $400
Therefore, the total price of the wedding cake is $400.
Now, to find out how much more money Tiffany owes, we subtract the deposit amount ($120) from the total price ($400):
Money owed = Total price - Deposit amount
Money owed = $400 - $120
Calculating:
Money owed = $280
Therefore, Tiffany owes $280 more for her wedding cake.
