Richard spent 21,2% of his saving account during the summer and now has $6,030.72 remaining in the account. What was the amount in his saving account at the begining of the summer

Answer provided by our tutors

let the initial amount be x

21.2% of x is spent

remaining amount = x - 21.2%of x

therefore,

x - 0.212x=6030.72

x=7653.197

or x = $7653.2
