Question

Rosa earns $120 per week tutoring math. Each week, she puts $36 from her paycheck in a

bank account to save for college. Rosa wants to know what percent of her earnings
she saves.
Find the amount Rosa saves out of $100.
What percent of her earnings does Rosa save?

Answer 1

Rosa saves 30% of her earnings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount earned per week tutoring = $120

Amount paid from paycheck = $36

To find the percent of Rosa's earnings that she saves, we need to divide the amount she saves by her total earnings and then multiply by 100.

Rosa earns $120 per week and saves $36 from her paycheck.

Thus, calculating the amount saved -

= 36/120

= 0.3 or 30% of her earnings each week.

Therefore, she saves 30% of her earnings.

Answer 2

%30 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If she puts $36 from $120 per week.

`(36)/(120) = (x)/(100)` → 120x = 36(100) → x = 30. That means she puts %30 of her savings.

The amount that she saves out $100 will be 100(30/100) = $30
