Answer:
She typed 32 words in her letter
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the letter has x words
āµ She typed x words in her letter
āµ She misspelled 8 words
āµ She misspelled 25% of the words she typed
ā“ She misspelled 25% of x
ā That means 8 is equivalent to 25% of x
ā“ 25% of x = 8
ā“ 25% Ć x = 8
ā Change 25% to decimal by divide it by 100
āµ 25% = 25 Ć· 100 = 0.25
ā“ 0.25 Ć x = 8
ā“ 0.25x = 8
ā Divide both sides by 0.25
āµ [tex]\frac{0.25x}{0.25}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{0.25}[/tex]
ā“ x = 32
āµ x represents the number of words that she typed in the letter
ā“ She typed 32 words in her letter
