Answer 1

Problem

Nathan saves 5% of his weekly salary. If Nathan earns $380 per week, how much does he save per week?

Solution

For this case we can do the following proportional rule:

`(380)/(100)=(x)/(5)`

Where x represent the amount of money that Nathan saves per week and we can solve for x and we got:

x = 5 (380/100)= 19

And the best solution would be:

A. $19
