Question

Jenny’s retirement account decreased by 30% to $56,000. How much was her account worth before the decrease?

Instead of just telling the answer, could you explain HOW and WHY you solved the way you did, please? Thank you.

starting with x, it lost 30%, or 0.30x
That leaves 0.70x, so
0.70x = 56,000
x = 56000/0.70 = 80,000
