Answer:

The card was worth $160.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Percent of gift card used = 42%

Cost of groceries = $67.20

Let,

x be the total amount on gift card.

42% of x = 67.20

[tex]\frac{42}{100}x=67.20[/tex]

0.42x = 67.20

[tex]\frac{0.42x}{0.42}=\frac{67.20}{0.42}\\x=160[/tex]

Therefore,

The card was worth $160.
