Question

Lamont spends $120 on groceries. This is 25% of the money he earns this week. How much does Lamont earn? Show your work

Answer 1

ANSWER:
Lamont Earns $480 a week

STEP BY STEP:
The easy way for the problem is to add 120 four times (120+120+120+120) to get 480. The reason this works is because 120 is 25% of what Lamont makes a week so adding it by itself 4 times will get you 100%, if that makes sence.

Hope that helps. :)
