Answer 1

To find her monthly earnings, we need to divide the monthly deposit by 2.5% to get the total amount.

Let's assume the monthly deposit is $x.

So, 2.5% of her earnings is equal to x.

2.5% can be written as 0.025 (since 2.5% = 2.5/100 = 0.025).

Therefore, 0.025 * Earnings = x

Earnings = x / 0.025

Hence, her monthly earnings are x / 0.025 dollars.
