Linda spent 3/4 of her savings on furniture and the rest on a t.v . If the t.v. cost her $200, what were her original savings?

Answer 1

Let's assume Linda's original savings were x dollars.
She spent 3/4*x on furniture.
So, the remaining savings after buying furniture is x - 3/4*x = 1/4*x.
And she spent that remaining amount on a t.v., which is $200.
So, 1/4*x = $200.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, we get x = $200 * 4 = $<<200*4=800>>800.
Therefore, Linda originally saved $800. Answer: \boxed{800}.
