Peter and Patty are very competitive and they both are saving money in their piggy banks. Peter has $90 and

Patty has $120. Patty's mom gives her a bonus of 20% of what she already has and Patty adds it to her piggy
bank. Peter's dad tells him that he will give him a bonus so that Peter has the same total as Patty. What percent of
Peter's money must the bonus from his dad be?

20% bonus of patty’s would give her the total of $144

that would mean peter’s dad would need to give him $54 which is 60% of $90

so the answer would be 60%
