A boy spends 32% of his money and has $120 left how much did he have at first

Answer 1

Well, what % of is money does he have now? i.e. what percentage does $120 equal? What percentage do you want?

You'll get something that looks like this example:

10% = $70 (what you were given)
50% = ? (what you want)

What would 50% be in dollars in that example?

See if you can do it now.

Answer 2

x - .32x = 120

Solve for x.
