A) $1300
B) $1000
C) $700
D) $900

Respuesta :

B because 30% of 1000 is 300

Answer:

Option B) $1000 would be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacklyn's employer matches 30% of Jacklyn's contributions to her 401(k) plan.

Let Jacklyn's contribution = x

Her employer's contribution = 30% of x = 300

= [tex]\frac{30x}{100}[/tex] = 300

= 30x = 300 × 100

= x = 30000 ÷ 30 = $1000

Jacklyn contributed $1000 to the 401(k) plan last year.
