Answer this question:Abigail spent 60% of her money on food, and 25% of the remainder on her phone bill. After spending $20 on entertainment, she is left with $40. How much money did Abigail have initially?
Abigail had $20 + $40 = $60 left after paying her phone bill. The $60 is 100% - 25% = 75% of the remainder of her money after spending for food. Since 75% is $60, then 1% is $60 / 75 = $0.80. Thus, Abigail had $0.80 x 100 = $80 left after she spent money on food. The $80 is 100% - 60% = 40% of her original money. So 1% is $80 / 40 = $2. Therefore, Abigail initially had $2 x 100 = $200.
The answer is 200.

Answer this question:Marty and Biff were both running for student council president. A poll was taken to see how the candidate's campaigns were going. 45% of the people polled said they were voting for Biff and 8% were undecided. The rest said they are voting for Marty. If 200 people were polled, how many said they are voting for Marty?
If 45% of people were voting for Biff + 8% were undecided = 53% were not voting for Marty. There were 100 53 = 47% voting for Marty. If 47% of 200 people were voting for Marty, 0.47 x 200 = 94 people said they were voting for Marty.
The answer is 94.
