    Answer:

      $96

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Margo’s spending in terms of her paycheck (p) is described as …

      dress + shoes + present = $60

      0.25p + (1/8)p + $24 = $60

      3/8p = $36 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract $24

      p = (8/3)($36) = $96 . . . . . . multiply by 8/3

    Margo’s paycheck was $96.
