Answer:

$333.33

Explanation:

This question is a little bit confusing, but I am assuming you mean to say that the 72% of the total pay, which is the amount he took home, is $240. So, then you can set up a proportion to solve the problem.


72
(72)/(100) = (240)/(x)

Then, you multiply the proportion out, getting
72x = 240*100

multiply the right side out and then divide by 72 to get $333.33
