Answer :

Given that George spent seventy percent of his saving to buy a camera at the given cost, his original savings was $820.

How much did George originally have in savings?

Given that;

  • George spent 70 % of his saving to buy a camera.
  • Cost of the camera is $574
  • George's original savings = ?

Lets represent George's original savings by y.

Hence,70% of the saving equals $574

70% × y = $574

70/100 × y = $574

7/10 × y = $574

7y/10 =$574

We cross multiply

7y =$5740

y = $5740 / 7

y = $820

Given that George spent seventy percent of his saving to buy a camera at the given cost, his original savings was $820.
