Answer:

Mr. Hildebrant planned to spend $95 in the gift shop.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find 80% of $? equals $76.

We can write an equation to help us solve for x, the money that Mr. Hildebrant planned to spend in the gift shop.

  • .80x = 76

Divide both sides of the equation by .80.

  • x = 95

Mr. Hildebrant planned to spend $95 in the gift shop.
