Answer:

Monthly budget = $4444.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the monthly budget of Edwards family = x dollars

18% of monthly budget spends on groceries

Hence,

18% of x = 800

[tex]{\dfrac{ 18 }{ 100 } \times x = 800}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:100\:to\:cancel\:out\:the\:fraction}[/tex]

[tex]100 \times \dfrac{ 18 }{ 100 } x = 800 \times 100[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Simplify}[/tex]

[tex]18x = 80000[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Divide\:18\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{ 18x }{ 18 } = \dfrac{ 80000 }{ 18 }[/tex]

[tex]x = 4444.444444444[/tex]

Rounded to the nearest cent: $4444.44
