Question

1. Greg bought a huge Christmas tree. He had to pay a
25% advance to reserve the tree. How much did he pay
to reserve the tree if the cost of the tree is $300?
Answer:

Answer 1

Answer: $1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplying 25% would take off 25% from 300, do the opposite (aka divide .25 from 300).

300/.25 = 1,200
