Answer 1

She has saved $83.93.

Explanation:

Gayle is saving to buy a bicycle.

The cost of bicycle = $119.90

She has saved = 0.7 of $119.90

= 0.7 × 119.90

= $83.93

The amount she needs more = 119.90 - 83.93

= $35.97

She has saved $83.93.

Answer 2

Let the amount saved by Gayle be = x

Cost of the bicycle = $119.90

Gayle's saving till now = 0.7% of 119.90

`(0.7)/(100)*119.90=x`

`x=0.83`

Hence, Gayle has saved $0.83 so far.
