Sarah spends 2/5 of her monthly income on rent. Sarah's rent is $750. What is sarah's montly income? Write an equation to solve this problem.

Respuesta :

2/5m = 750
m = 750 * 5/2
m = 3750/2
m = 1875 <== monthly income
Another way to figure this out would be to divide it by 2, since it is 2/5, so it would then be 1/5. Then you would multiply it by 5 to get 1875.
