Question

Rocco spent 20% of his savings on clothes. He brought $50 clothes. How much did he have in the beginning

Answer 1

Howdy,

20% is also 1/5 in fraction form, which tells us he spent 1/5 of his money on clothes:

So to solve, we have to multiply 50 by 5:

50 x 5 = 250

Rocco's original savings was $250

Hope this helps! <span />

Answer 2

He has $250 in the beginning
