Question

Andrew won a cash prize on a game show. Andrew paid taxes of 30% on the original cash prize and had $28,000 remaining. How much was the original cash prize?

Answer 1

36000 because if you do 28000+30% it=36000

Answer 2

100%-30%=70%
70%=$28000
1%=$28000/70=$400
100%=$400X100=$40000
The original cash prize was $40000
