im not sure if this is write but i would assume you would have to add it back so 
48 + 15 % = 55.2

Answer: $320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the savings of Lucinda is denoted by 'x' .

If the amount she spent was 15% of her savings.

Then , the amount she spent would be 0.15x

[We can write 15% in 0.015 ∵ to convert a percentage sign we divide it by 100.]

It is given that  Lucinda spent $48.

[tex]\Rightarrow 0.15x=48\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{48}{0.15}\\\\=\dfrac{4800}{15}=320[/tex]

Hence, she had $320 as savings before she she shopped.
