The Midtown Middle School cheerleaders earned $175 at a car wash. If this amount is 25% of the cost of a new set of uniforms, what is the total cost fora a set of uniforms? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

0.25x = 175

x = 175 / 0.25

x = $700

Answer 2

I also think it’s $700 cause we are looking for the whole in this question so we have to divide 175 with 0.25
