Question

Please help me!!! (Can you also explain)

Answer 1

how much is 1/5 of 1500? is simply their product, (1/5)(1500).

how much is that for 12 months, well, is simply that much 12 times, (1/5)(1500)(12).

`\bf 1500\cdot \cfrac{1}{5}\cdot 12\implies \cfrac{1500}{5}\cdot 12\implies 300\cdot 12\implies 3600`

Answer 2

$3600 per year into savings

Explanation:

He makes 1500 dollars a month

1/5 of that goes into saving

1/5*1500 = 300

300 per month goes into savings

We want to know how much goes into savings per year

There are 12 months in a year, so we need to multiply by 12

300 per month * 12 months/ year = 3600 per year

$3600 per year into savings
