Margo spends 0.25 of her paycheck on a new dress, One-eighth of her paycheck on shoes, and $24 on a birthday present. If she spent $60 altogether, how much was Margo’s paycheck? $96 or $160 or $216 or $504?

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the answer choices and test each one

If you test $96 for the paycheck, it works

96/4 = 24

96/8 = 12

24 + 12 = 36

36 + 24 = 60

This option is right because she spent $60 total

margo's pay was $96 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' represent the amount of Margo's paycheck.  Since she spent 0.25 on a dress, 1/8 (0.125) on shoes and another $24 on a present for a total of $60, we can set up the following equation:

0.25x + 0.125x + 24 = 60

Combine like terms:  0.375x + 24 = 60

Subtract 24 from both sides: 0.375x + 24 - 24 = 60-24 or 0.375x = 36

Divide by 0.375: 0.375x/0.375 = 36/0.375

Solve for x: x = $96
