Answer 1

This question is a bit hard too comprehend but I think we got it! ;D
If you know how too solve percentage word problems, you've got a great start! If you don't i'll still explain how! <3

Too solve percentages make it a decimal and multiply.
- This question : 355 x .20
* 71 $ of his paycheck goes into savings! :)

Now the rest is just plain ol' math :D

Subtract 20.10$ from 355$
- Then find the percentage! :)


Hope This Helped!! <3

Answer 2

20/100= .02.
.02 x $335.00 = $ 67.00
20.10/67.00 = .3 .3 x100 = 30%
