Question

Nelson used 35% of his savings account for his class trip in may. If he used 140 from his savings account while on his class trip, how much money was his savings account before the trip.

Answer 1

Ok, so I’m guessing that 35% is $140 and that the question is asking to find the total at first.
Basically,
35% -> $140
So we’re gonna find 100%
1%->140 divide by 35 which is 4
100%-> 4 x 100= $400
And that should be your answer:)
