John made $200 this month mowing lawns.
Ashley had a yard sale and made 74% of what John
made. Chris received birthday money in an amount that
was of what Ashley made. How much birthday money
did Chris receive?
To find out how much Ashley made, you need to find how much 74% is of 200. The answer to this is 148. Since Chris made 1/2 of what Ashley did, we have to divide 148 by 2. And you get 74
