Mallorie has $5 in her wallet. If this is 10% if her monthly allowance, what is her monthly allowance? I got 50 i dont know if thats wrong

Respuesta :

her monthly allowance is $50

Explanation:

let her monthly allowance = x

$5 = 10% of her monthly allowance

5 = 10% × x

5 = 0.1 × x

5 = 0.1x

Divide both sides by 0.1:

5/0.1 = 0.1x/0.1

50 = x

Hence, her monthly allowance is $50

$50 is correct
