Answer: I got $500

Step-by-step explanation: What I did was I took the percent and rewrote it as 0.40, and then I did (1 - 0.40) From there you get 0.6 and take $300 divided by 0.6, so it should look like this ->

1. 40%=0.40

2. 1 - 0.40

3. = 0.6

4. 300 divided by 0.6 = 500.

Hopefully this was helpful
