Question

Jack is learning to save, spend, and give his money away. He had determined to give away 10% of his summer job earnings. If he gives away $256, how much did he earn this summer?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2304

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply $256 by 10 to get 100%, then minus the 10% he gave away ($256).

Answer 2

10% is also equal to 0.1, 0.1 is one tenth of 1, or 100% so 256 times 10 equals 2560
