Question

5 Connie is working to earn $200. She earns

$25 mowing her grandmother's lawn and $60
for a day of housecleaning. Which decimal
represents the part of the money Connie still
needs to earn and why?
A 0.575
B 0.115
C 0.425
D 0.85​

Answer 1

Answer: A. 0.575

Explanation: $25 + 60 = $85

Connie still needs to earn, so $200 - $85 = $115.

Divide $115 by $200 to find percentage remaining:

115/200

0.575

Answer 2

Answer: A. 0.575

Step-by-step explanation:
Add $25 + 60 = $85

You want the money Connie still needs to earn, so $200 - $85 = $115.

Now, divide $115 by $200 to find the percentage remaining:
= 115/200
= 0.575
