Answer:
C.₱8, 000.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 3/4 of the savings was spent on furniture, that leaves 1/4 spent on the tv. If x represents the amount of her savings, then 1/4 x represents the amount spent on the tv.
So, 1/4 x = $200. If we divide both sides by 1/4, or, equivalently, multiply both sides by 4, we get x = $8,000.00
