Answer: Total = $200

Explanation:

Given information

Money spent on shoes = $20.00

Percent of Money spent on shoes = 10%

Given formula

The total amount of money spent × Percent = Money spent on shoes

The total amount of money spent = Money spent on shoes / Percent

Substitute values into the given formula

The total amount of money spent = Money spent on shoes / Percent

Total = (20.00) / (10%)

Convert percentage into decimal

Total = 20.00 / 0.1

Simplify the fraction


\Large\boxed{Total~=~200~Dollars}

Hope this helps!! :)
