Hi there!

In order to answer your question, you'll need to use the cross product method:


(270)/(1,800) = (x)/(100)


(100 × 270) ÷ 1,800 = X

27,000 ÷ 1,800 = X

15 = X



(15)/(100) = 15%


Your answer is: Isaac put 15% of his earnings into his savings.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
