Peter and his four brothers combined all of their money to buy a video game. If 30% of the total money is Peter's, and $18.00 of the total money is Peter's, how much do all five brothers have combined?
Accepted Solution
A:
Let the total amount combined be 100% and at $x.
Then, Peter's contribution of $18 represents 30% of $x. Therefore,
30% of $x -----> $18 100% of $x ---> $x Then, x= (100*18)/30 = $60
