Problem#4
Enrique puts 12% of his monthly paycheck in an IRA. If he invests $72 in his IRA, how much was his paycheck?
1) I can't figure this one out
2) 128 is what percent of 800? Now write that in math terms (is means equals, of means multiply):
128=x(800)
Remember to multiply by 100 at the end because the decimal needs to be in percent form.
3) Principle = Rate x Time
5000=r(4)
4) $72 is 12% of what? The what is the paycheck amount:
72=(0.12)(x)
