Question

Workers are required to pay 4½% of their salaries into an Educational Fund. A worker's salary is 120 Ghana cedis . How much does he pay into the Educational Fund?

Answer 1

He will need to pay 5.4 Ghana cedis into his educational fund.

Explanation:

We need to multiply 4 1/2 by 120 since it is a percentage. We convert 4 1/2 into a decimal which is 4.5. Now, we just need to multiply 120 by 4 1/2 to get an answer of 5.4.
