Suki saved $252. This is 63% of what she needs for a new stereo. How much is the new stereo?

Answer 1

To find out how much the new stereo costs, we first need to determine how much Suki needs to save in total.

Let's represent the total cost of the new stereo as x.

Since Suki saved 63% of what she needs, we can set up the following equation:

0.63x = $252

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.63:

x = $252 / 0.63
x = $400

Therefore, the new stereo costs $400.
