Facts:

Maya spent 1/5 or 20% of her money on a book

She has $80 left over

So that means she has 4/5 of her money left over

First, divide the numerator by the denominator which is 4 divided by 5 which equals .80

Then you get that and divide $
80 by .80 which is $100

So that means that she originally had $
100 but spent $20 which leaves her with $80

Answer: Maya originally had $100
