Question

Peyton spent 60% of her money to buy a new television. If the television cost $300, how much money did she have originally?

Answer 1

she has originally `$500`

Explanation:

The formula of percentage is

`"Part"/"Whole" * 100 = %`

So

`"300"/"Whole" * 100 = 60`

`"Whole" = (300*100)/60`

`"Whole" = 500`
