After 25% of a bill is paid, $80 still remains to be paid. How much was the bill?

Asked by bettianne

Answer (2)

the original bill was valued at 106.67 $
if 25% was paid, and 80 dollars are left, this means that 80 dollars is 75% of the bill. 25% is a quater, and 75% is three quarters.
here, we can divide 80 into three parts ->
80 ÷ 3 ≈ 26.67 that means a quater of the bill is 26.67 $
if 80 w ere l e f tt o b e p ai d , j u s t a dd t h e 26.67 from the first quater ->
80 + 26.67 = 106.67 $

The total bill amount was $106.67. After paying 25% of the bill, which is $26.67, the remaining amount to be paid is $80, confirming our calculation. Thus, the entire bill can be calculated using the percentage of the remaining amount.
