Question

Donations of $375 in March to a homeless shelter are 250% of what they were in February. What were the donations to the shelter in February?

Answer 1

$150 dollars :))

Answer 2

Answer: $150

Explanation:

March = $375 = 250% (February)

February = ?

For percentages, I like to use the rule of 3.

375 is in dollars, 250 and 100 are in percents

$150 in February
