They agreed that Matthew would get 60% of the profit
because the lemonade stand was his idea. They made a
profit of $25.
How much money did Matthew make?

Answer 1

Answer: Matthew would make $15

Step-by-step explanation: You take the total profit-$25, and multiple that by the percent. (You convert the percent to a decimal by moved the decimal place to the left twice.

Answer 2

15$

Explanation:

Okey so first we establish that 25 is 100%

Matthew gets 60%

First we find 10% by dividing both sides by 10

2.5 = 10%

Then we times these numbers by 6 to find 60%

60% = 15

Matthew will earn 15$

Luke will earn 10$
