Answer 2

Answer:

The income of the family is $930

Step-by-step explanation:

A family spent $186 per week for food. This was 20% of its weekly income.

Let us assume the total income of the family is x.

So, 20% of the income will be,

$=x\times \dfrac{20}{100}$

But, it is given as $186, so

$\Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{20}{100}=186$

$\Rightarrow x\times \dfrac{1}{5}=186$

$\Rightarrow x=186\times 5$

$\Rightarrow x=\ 930$

Therefore, the income of the family is $930
