Question 1 Report

A man donates 10% of his monthly net earnings to his church. If it amounts to ₦4,500, what is his net monthly income?
Answer Details
We can begin by setting up an equation to represent the given situation. Let x be the man's net monthly income. Then, we know that he donates 10% of his net monthly income to his church, which amounts to ₦4,500. Mathematically, we can express this as: 10% of x = ₦4,500 To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 10%, which is equivalent to multiplying both sides by 10/100 or 0.1: 10% of x ÷ 10% = ₦4,500 ÷ 10% x = ₦4,500 ÷ 0.1 x = ₦45,000 Therefore, the man's net monthly income is ₦45,000. Answer: ₦45,000
