Jada has a monthly budget for her cell phone bill. Last month, she spent 120% of her budget, and the bill was $60. What is Jada’s monthly cell phone budget?
If Jada spent 120% of her budget and her bill was $60, we can set up the equation 1.2x = 60, where x is her monthly budget.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.2.
\(\frac{1.2x}{1.2} = \frac{60}{1.2}\)
x = 50.
Jada’s monthly cell phone budget is $50.
