Margo spends 0.25 of her paycheck on a new dress, 1/8 her paycheck on shoes, and $24 on a birthday present. if she spent $60 altogether, how much was margo’s paycheck? $96 $160 $216 $504

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the amount of Margo's paycheck.  Since she spent 0.25 on a dress, 1/8 (0.125) on shoes and another $24 on a present for a total of $60, we can set up the following equation:

0.25x + 0.125x + 24 = 60

Combine like terms:  0.375x + 24 = 60

Subtract 24 from both sides: 0.375x + 24 - 24 = 60-24 or 0.375x = 36

Divide by 0.375: 0.375x/0.375 = 36/0.375

Solve for x: x = $96

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.
