Sam spent 20% of the money he got from his dad. He spent a total of $100. How much money did he get from his dad?

• $500

• $250

• $300

• $375

Answer explanation

In order to find the total amount of money you have to divide the partial amount by the percent turned into a number. Example 20% as a decimal is .2 that means you have to divide 100 by .2. For that to become easier move the decimal to the right. that would make .2 the number 2. You also have to move the decimal for 100 to the right once making it 1,000. 1,000 divided by 2 equals 500.
