Question

A student spends 12% of his or her money on a book. After buying the book, the student has $120.12 left.

Answer 1

Answer:

$136.50

Step-by-step explanation:

100 - 12 = 88% (How much percentage of money the student left)

88% = 120.12

1% = 120.12 ÷ 88 = 1.365

Before buying the book, the student had 100%

100% = 1.365 x 100 = 136.50
