a family spends 240$ per week on food. if this is 16% of their income, what is the family's weekly income?
To find the family's weekly income, you can set up a proportion where the amount spent on food is 16% of the total income.
Let x be the family's weekly income.
240 / x = 16% / 100%
240 / x = 0.16
x = 240 / 0.16
x = 1500
Therefore, the family's weekly income is $1,500.
