Q. Marie wants to buy a new car. She saves 25% of her wage and is left with $600 spending money. What is Marie's wage?(A) $450(B) $625(C) $750(D) $800
Calculate Total Wage: Marie saves 25% of her wage, meaning she spends the remaining 75% of her wage, which equals $600. To find her total wage, divide $600 by 75% (or 0.75).
Verify Calculation: Check the calculation: 800×0.75=600. This confirms that spending 75% of \(800\) results in 600.
