Afamily spent $186 per week for food. this was 20% of its weekly income. what was the weekly income?

Hello!

To find the weekly income of this family, we will need to convert the percentage into a decimal, and divide the money spent by the decimal found.

To convert percentages, know that all percentages are out of 100, and to convert them to decimals, divide it by 100.

20 / 100 = 2 / 10 = 0.2

Now, we would divide 186 by 0.2 to find the weekly income.

$186 / 0.2 = $930

Therefore, the weekly income of this family is 930 dollars.
