Question 1

Joe was paid by his mother to clean out his family\'s garage. He gave 30 percent of his pay to his sister Samantha for boxing up all the old books. Samantha gave 20 percent of her pay to her twin brother Andrew for stacking the boxes of books. If Samantha gave Andrew $9.00, how much was Joe\'s pay? $45 $75 $100 $125 $150

Solution

Lets assume Joe\'s pay was $x

30% of this was paid to Samantha = 0.3*x

Samantha gave 20% of (0.3x) to Andrew = 02*(0.3x ) = 0.06x

0.06x = 9

x = $ 150
