conversations.value: I would love to understand how to solve this problem: Luna's monthly food budget is equal to 60% of her house rental budget while her phone bill budget is 10% of her food budget. If the total budget of house rental and food budget is $240, how much is Luna's total monthly budget to pay all those expenses?
  Can you explain?

conversations.value: Let x be Luna's house rental budget.
  The total budget for house and food rental is represented by the equation x + (60x/100) = 240.
  The equation becomes 100x + 60x = 24000 after multiplying each term by 100 to get rid of the fraction.
  By combining like terms, the equation becomes 160x = 24000.
  Thus, the value of x is 24000/160 = 150 which represents the house rental budget.
  So, Luna's food budget is $240 - $150 = $90.
  Her phone bill budget is $90 x 10/100 = $9.
  Therefore, Luna's monthly budget for all those expenses is $240 (house and food) + $9 (phone) = $249.
