Trey deposited 20% of his paycheck in the bank. if he deposited $30 how much was his paycheck

Answer: 150

Step-by-step explanation: so when you want a whole amount of something you want to the 100% of it because 100% is the whole thing right? Well right now you only have 20% so how much do you need to multiply that by to get 100%? Well that answer is 5. Okay so now since $30 is 20% but we wanna get it to 100% multiply it by 5 so 30x5 which is 150
