Homework Help: Algebra

For whatever reason I'm drawing a huge blank on this problem.

Shane returned from a trip to Las Vegas with $300.00, which was 50% more money than he had at the beginning of the trip. How much money did Shane have at the beginning of his trip?

x = beginning amount
300 = 1.5 x
Algebra - Damon, Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 3:18pm
because 50% more = 100% + 50% which is 1.5
