    Shane had $240 at the beginning of his trip.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Shane returned from a trip to Las Vegas with $420 and this is 75% more of at the beginning.

    Let us assume the money he carried at the beginning of the trip was $x

    At present he is having 75% more means total money he has = x+75% of x

    This total amount is equal to $420

    Therefore x +.75x = 420

    x (1 +.75) = 420

    1.75 x = 420

    Now by dividing both sides by 1.75

    x = 420:1.75

    = $240

    Therefore the amount he carried in the beginning of the trip is $240.
