While shopping Marcy spent $59. If the amount she spent is 25% of her savings, how much savings did she have before she shopped

Savings= $236

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Money spent= $59

Proportion of savings= 25% = 0.25

To calculate the total savings before shopping, we need to use the following formula:

Savings= money spent / proportion of savings

Savings= 59 / 0.25

Savings= $236

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
