housing = 0.12*income
housing/0.12 = income . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable
$1440.00/0.12 = income = $12,000

The foster family earned $12,000 last month.

Answer:

They earned $ 12000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of money they earned last week,

Since, 12% of their income is spent on housing.

So, the amount they paid for housing = 12 % of x

= 0.12 × x

= 0.12x

According to the question,

[tex]0.12x=1440.00[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{1440}{0.12}=12000[/tex]

Hence, they earned $ 12000.
