Answer:
$250
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 100% - 40% = 60% (40% deducted because Billy gave 40% of total amt to his sis)
2) 60% = $150 (he was remaining with 60% of total amount and that amt was $150)
3) If 60% is $150,
then 100% is $?
= 100 × 150 = 15000
15000/60 = $250 (cross multiplication)

Step-by-step explanation:
% of money Billy gave his sister = 40%
Amount of money left = 150$
Money in Billy's pocket = ( 40% - 100% )
= 60% = 150$
so,
let the total amount of money be x
60% of x = 150
60/100 × x = 150
x = 150 × 100 / 60
x = 250$
Total amount of money Billy had was 250$
hope this helps you.
