Answer :
The total cost of the trip Lisa wants to take over the weekend is $500.
- Let the total cost of the trip be T.
Given the following data:
- Savings account balance = $200
- Percent of trip expenses = 40%
To determine the total cost of the trip Lisa wants to take over the weekend:
Since the percentage of the money in Lisa's savings account is equal to forty percent (40%) of what is required for the total cost of the trip. Thus, we would multiply the total cost of her trip by 40% and equate it to $200.
Total cost of her trip:
[tex]\frac{40}{100} \times T = 200\\\\0.4T=200\\\\T=\frac{200}{0.4}[/tex]
Total cost, T = $500.
