Q. Marie wants to buy a new car. She saves 25%25\% of her wage and is left with $600\$600 spending money. What is Marie's wage?\newline(A) $450\$450\newline(B) $625\$625\newline(C) $750\$750\newline(D) $800\$800
  1. Calculate Total Wage: Marie saves 25%25\% of her wage, meaning she spends the remaining 75%75\% of her wage, which equals $600\$600. To find her total wage, divide $600\$600 by 75%75\% (or 0.750.75).
  2. Verify Calculation: Check the calculation: 800×0.75=600 800 \times 0.75 = 600 . This confirms that spending 7575% of \(800\) results in 600600.
