Answer 2

Answer:

$160$ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $a$ be the number of money that Shane had at the beginning of the trip. It says that $200$ dollars is $25 \%$ more than $a$. So, $125 \%$ of $a$ should be the same number as $200$ dollars.

Writing $125 \%$ in its decimal form:

$125(\%) \\ 125(\frac{1}{100}) \\ \frac{125}{100} \\ 1.25$

Solving for $a$:

$1.25a = 200 \\ \frac{1.25a}{1.25} = \frac{200}{1.25} \\ a = 160$
