ANSWER:
Lamont Earns $480 a week

STEP BY STEP:
The easy way for the problem is to add 120 four times (120+120+120+120) to get 480. The reason this works is because 120 is 25% of what Lamont makes a week so adding it by itself 4 times will get you 100%, if that makes sence.

Hope that helps. :)

Lamont's total earnings this week come to be $480.

Lamont spends $120 on groceries and this is 25% of the money he earns this week.

This means, $120 = 25% of the total earnings of Lamont

Suppose total earnings =x

What is the percentage?

The percentage is the value per hundred.

25% of x= [tex]\frac{25*x}{100}=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Given [tex]\frac{x}{4} =120[/tex]

So, [tex]x=480[/tex]

So, his total earnings is $480.

Thus, Lamont's total earnings come to be $480.
