1.

The amount Michelle earn is: 72

The portion she decided to donate is: 80%.

The expression to calculate the money she donated is,


\begin{gathered} 72*(80)/(100)=72*(8)/(10) \\ =(576)/(10) \\ =57.6 \end{gathered}

Thus, she donates $57.6 from her savings.

2.

The total students who voted for homecoming is: 960

The percentage of student voted for Allison is:60 %

The expression to calculate the number of students who voted for Alison is,


\begin{gathered} 960*(60)/(100)=960*(6)/(10) \\ =96*6 \\ =576 \end{gathered}

Thus, the 576 students voted for Alison.
