Jack spent 30% of the money he earned mowing lawns last summer. If Jack spent $45, what was the total amount of money he earned mowing lawns last summer?

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent Proportions Formula = a/b = n/100

45/b = 30/100

Then do cross multiplication

4500/30

which would equal $150.

|16.5|
