Question

Ricardo has saved 83% of the money he needs to buy a new skateboard that costs $150. How much MORE does he need to save to buy tge skateboard?

Answer 1

17%, or $25.50

Explanation:

If Ricardo has already saved 83% of the money, then he needs to save 17% more, because 83% + 17% = 100%

So what you need to do to figure out the answer is to find out 17% of $150

You first have to convert 17% into decimal form which is 0.17.

Then, you multiply 0.17 × 150 = 25.5

Ricardo needs $25.50 to buy the skateboard.

Hope this helped.
