On Reese's most recent phone bill, 80% of the minutes she used were from calling her mother. If she talked to her mother for 348 minutes, how many total minutes did she use?

Respuesta :

Number of minutes Reese talked with her mother = 348 minutes

The time she talked with her mother is :-

= 80% of the total minutes she used .

Let the total number of minutes she talked be x .

This can be written as :-

[tex] \frac{80}{100} \times x = 348[/tex]

[tex]x = 348 \div \frac{80}{100} [/tex]

[tex]x = 348 \div \frac{8}{10} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{348}{1} \times \frac{10}{8} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{3480}{8} [/tex]

[tex]x = 435 \: minutes[/tex]

Therefore , Reese uses a total of 435 minutes .
