Question

Andrew won a cash prize on a game show. Andrew paid taxes of 30% on the original cash prize and had $28000 remaining. How much was the original cash prize ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Being that $28,000 is the remaining amount when 30% is taken away, we automatically know that it is equal to 70% of the original cash. With this knowledge, we can now get 28,000 and divide it by 70, which would equal 400. Then get the 400, and multiply is by 100 to get the total, or 100% of the original cash prize.
