We went on a shopping spree and spent 60% of outmoney. If we spend $120, how much money did wehave originally?

To determine how much money we had in the first place we can use a rule of three:


\begin{gathered} 120\rightarrow60 \\ x\rightarrow100 \end{gathered}

Then we have that:


x=(100\cdot120)/(60)=200

Therefore, you originally has $200
