Maria, did you look at the explanation?
$25 = 15% * monthly wage
Monthly wage = $25 divided by 15%
= $25 divided by 15/100
=$25 * 100 / 15
=$2500 / 15
= $166.67
Answer B.
$25 = 15% * monthly wage
Monthly wage = $25 divided by 15%
= $25 divided by 15/100
=$25 * 100 / 15
=$2500 / 15
= $166.67
Answer B.
