Question

If 3/8 of my money is $3840.00. How much did I have at first? *

A$11520.00
B$13425.00
C$12600.00
D$10750.00
E$10240.00

Answer 1

E $10240.00

Explanation:

The total amount of money is x.

3/8 × x = 3840

Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/8 which is 8/3.

x = 3840 × 8/3

x = 10240

Answer: E $10240.00

Answer 2

E. $10240.00

Explanation:

$3840.00 is 3/8

so 3 ---> $3840

1 ---> $3840/3

1 ---> 1280

Then total money you had is ( 1280 * 8 ) = $10240
