Please answer with a full sentence and show work.

Respuesta :

The savings amount is $ 58.33

Solution:

Given that,

I spent $7.00 and I knew that was 12% of my savings

To find: Savings amount

Let "x" be the savings amount

Then from given,

12 % of my savings = 7

12 % of x = 7

Calculate the above equation

[tex]12 \% \times x = 7\\\\\frac{12}{100} \times x = 7\\\\0.12 \times x = 7\\\\x = \frac{7}{0.12}\\\\x = 58.33[/tex]

Thus the savings amount is $ 58.33
