Ed spent 8.5 percent of his savings on lunch which cost 5.25 how much did he have in his savings before lunch

He spent 8.5% of savings on lunch which was 5.25
therefore 8.5%=5.25
figure out what 100% is
5.25:8.5=x:100
5.25/8.5=x/100
multiply both sides by 100
525/8.5=x
divide
61.76=x
he has $61.76 in his savings before lunch

I’d say letter a..

Y’all got to do it all over
